ANSWER:

Solution 8REStep 1:The general notation of a taylor series is given by Here when a=0 the series is called maclaurin series.Here We need to find the Taylor polynomials of order n = 0, 1. and 2 for the given functions centered at the given point a.Therefore the taylor series for f(x)=cos x and a=0 is For order For order For order
