a. Use any analytical method to find the first four nonzero terms of the Taylor series centered at 0 for the following functions. In most cases you do not need to use the definition of the Taylor series coefficients. b. If possible, determine the radius of convergence of the series. $$f(x)=\cos 2 x+2 \sin x$$
Use properties of power series, substitution, and factoring of constants to find the first four nonzero terms of the Taylor series centered at 0 for the following functions. Use the Taylor series. $$(1+x)^{-2}=1-2 x+3 x^{2}-4 x^{3}+\cdots, \text { for }-1 < x < 1$$ $$\left(x^{2}-4 x+5\right)^{-2}$$
Exponential function In Section 3, we show that the power series for the exponential function centered at 0 is $$e^{x}=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{k}}{k !}, \quad \text { for }-\infty < x < \infty$$ Use the methods of this section to find the power series for the following functions. Give the interval of convergence for the resulting series. $$f(x)=e^{-3 x}$$
Identify the functions represented by the following power series. $$\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{k} \frac{x^{2 k}}{4^{k}}$$
Use properties of power series, substitution, and factoring to find the first four nonzero terms of the Taylor series centered at 0 for the following functions. Give the interval of convergence for the new series. Use the Taylor series. $$\sqrt{1+x}=1+\frac{x}{2}-\frac{x^{2}}{8}+\frac{x^{3}}{16}-\cdots, \text { for }-1 < x \leq 1$$ $$\sqrt{9-9 x}$$
