Short Answer

Expert verified

The Taylor series for the function $f (x) = \sin (x)$ at $x = π$ is $P_{n} (x) = \sum_{k = 0}^{\infty} \frac{(- 1)^{k + 1}}{(2 k + 1)!} (x - π)^{2 k + 1}$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given data

We have the function $f (x) = \sin (x)$

Step 2. Table of the taylor series

Any function $f$ with a derivative of order $n$ , the taylor series at $x = π$ is given by,

$\begin{aligned} P_{n} (x) = & f (π) + f^{'} (π) (x - π) + \frac{f^{''} (π)}{2!} (x - π)^{2} + \frac{f^{'''} (π)}{3!} (x - π)^{3} + \frac{f^{''''} (π)}{4!} (x - π)^{4} + \dots \end{aligned}$

we can write the general of the Taylor series of the function $f$ is,

$P_{n} (x) = \sum_{k = 0}^{\infty} \frac{f^{k} (x_{0})}{k!} {(x - x_{0})}^{n}$

So, let us first construct the table of the Taylor series for the function $f (x) = \sin (x)$ at $x = π$

n	$f^{n} (x)$
0	$\sin (x)$	0	0
1	$\cos (x)$	-1	-1
2	$- \sin (x)$	0	0
3	$- \cos (x)$	1	$\frac{1}{3!}$
. . .	. . .	. . .	. . .
2k	$(- 1)^{k} \sin x$	0	0
2k+1	$(- 1)^{k} \cos (x)$	$(- 1)^{k + 1}$	$(- 1)^{k + 1} \frac{1}{(2 k + 1)!}$
. . .	. . .	. . .	. . .

Step 3. Taylor series for the f(x)=sinx

The Taylor series for the function $f (x) = \sin (x)$ at $x = π$ is

\begin{aligned} P_{n} (x) = & 0 + - 1 \cdot (x - π) + \frac{0}{2!} (x - π)^{2} + \frac{1}{3!} (x - π)^{3} + \dots + \frac{0}{(2 k)!} (x - π)^{2 k} + \frac{(- 1)^{k + 1}}{(2 k + 1)!} (x - π)^{2 k + 1} + \dots \end{aligned}

Or we can write this as $P_{n} (x) = \sum_{k = 0}^{\infty} \frac{(- 1)^{k + 1}}{(2 k + 1)!} (x - π)^{2 k + 1}$
