TAYLOR SERIES PROBLEM HELP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let f be the function given by f(x) = integral of cos*sqrt of t dt, from 0 to x, x greater than equal to 0. Which of the following is the taylor series of f about x =0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{X}\cos \sqrt{t} dt, x \ge 0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THAT IS THE FUNTION

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) 1 - (x/2) + (x^2/24) - (x^3/720).... b) x + (x^2/3) + (x^4/15) + (x^5/105)... c) x - (x^2/2) + (x^4/6) - (x^6/24)... D) x - (x^2/4) + (x^3/4) - (x^4/2880)...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can't you use the expansion of cos(u) and substitute x^(1/2) whenever u appears?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want to know how to get the answer, not only what the asnwer is if u dont mind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know taht cos(x) = x - (x^2/2) + (x^4/4) - (x^6/6).... but idk what to do after

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so can't you substitute x^(1/2) for every x in the expansion of cos(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have teh answet key and the asnwer is D but im not sure if substituing x^1/2 is how they got taht answer....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried but i get x - (x/2) + (x^2/4)....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tahts wat i get when i substtue x^1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u see how they got D as an asnwer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WAIT D) NEEDS a correction it should be : x - (x^2/4) + (x^3/720 - (x^4/2880)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are u there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not so sure anymore, you can try it doing a straight differentiation as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how? what do u get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

int(1 + f'(0)x + f''(0)x^2/2! + ...)
