I will do another example on my own

OpenStudy (idku):

\[f(a)+f'(a)(x-a)^1+\frac{f''(a)}{2!}(x-1)^2+\frac{f'''(a)}{3!}(x-1)^3+~...\]Above is a basic representation (expansion) of a taylor series.

OpenStudy (idku):

I will now attempt to write a taylor series for sin(x) at x=0, otherwise known as the maclauren series.

OpenStudy (idku):

f(0)=sin(0)=0 f'(0)=cos(0)=1 f''(0)=-sin(0)=0 f'''(0)=-cos(0)=-1 then the cycle of coefficients (i.e. 0, 1, 0, -1 ) repeats. f''''(0)=sin(0)=0 and on....

OpenStudy (idku):

\[\sin(x)~~~({\rm at~~x=0})~~\\ ~\\ =~x-\frac{x^3}{3!}(x-1)^3+\frac{x^5}{5!}(x-1)^3+~.....\]

OpenStudy (idku):

Correction: oh, the x-1 chould be just x, since it is at x=0.

OpenStudy (idku):

\[x-x^3/3!+x^5/5!-x^7/7!+...=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{n}x^{2n-1}/(2n-1)!\]
