a)

The functions are,

n1(x)=-cosxx2-sinxx

n2(x)=-(3x3-1x)cosx-3x2sinx

b)

The new functions are,

n1(x)-1x2n2(x)-3x3

Step by step solution

01

Concept used

The general expression for the function ni(x) is given by,

ni(x)-(-x)i1xddxicosxx

02

Construct  n1(x) and  n2(x)

We need to construct n1xand n2x, as:

n1x=-(-x)1xddxcosxx=-cosxx2-sinxxn1x=-cosxx2-sinxx

Similarly solving for n2(x),

n2x=-(-x)21xddx2cosxx=-x21xddx1xddxcosxx=-xddx1x-xsinx-cosxx2=xddxsinxx2+cosxx3

Further solving above equation,

n2(x)=xx2cosx-2xsinx+-x3sinx-3x2cosxx4n2(x)=cosxx-2x2x2-sinxx2-3cosxx3n2(x)=-3x3-1xcosx-3x2sinxn2(x)=-3x3-1xcosx-3x2sinx

Thus, the function n1(x), and n2(x) are n1(x)=-cosxx2-sinxxand n2(x)=-3x3-1xcosx-3x2sinxrespectively.

03

Calculate approximate values of the sine and cosine function

We can approximate the sine and cosine functions as sinxxandcosx1,so:

n1(x)-1x2+1x

But since is x very small then 1/x2is much larger than 1, thus we can neglect 1, so get:

n1(x)-1x2

And for we have:

n2(x)-3x3-1x-3x2xn2(x)-3x3

Thus, approximate formulas for n1(x), and n2(x) are n1(x)-1x2and n2(x)-3x2respectively.
