1). Go over Theorem 8 and 9 of Section 11.10 (page 780).

Theorem 8: If f (x) = Tn (x) + Rn (x), where Tn is the n-th degree polynomial of f

at a and limn→∞ Rn (x) = 0 for |x − a| < R, then f is equal to the sum of its Taylor
series on the interval |x − a| < R.

Theorem 9 (Taylor’s Inequality): If |f n+1 (x)| ≤ M for |x − a| < d, then the

M
remainder Rn (x) of the Taylor series satisfies the inequality |Rn (x)| ≤ (n+1)! |x − a|n+1
for |x − a| < d

Using the above results, prove that cos x is equal to the sum of its Maclaurin series.
