First few terms of Taylor's series of

sinxata=πis-(x-π)+16(x-π)3-1120(x-π)5+..

Step by step solution

01

Taylor series and the given function.

Function is sinxanda=π.

Taylor's series of about is expressed as follows:

f(x)=f(a)+f'(a)1!(x-a)+f''(a)2!(x-a)2+f'''(a)3!(x-a)3+.

02

Calculation by Taylor series.

Differentiate the function sinxand substituteπ :

f'(x)=dsinxdxf'(x)=cosxf'(π)=cosπf'(π)=-1

Differentiate the function sinx two times and substituteπ for xas follows:

f''(x)=d2dx2sinxf''(x)=-sinxf''(π)=-sinπf''(π)=0

Differentiate the function sinxthree times and substitute πfor xas follows:

f'''(x)=d3dx3sinxf'''(x)=-cosxf'''(π)=-cosπf'''(π)=1

Differentiate the function sinxfour times and substituteπ for xas follows:

f'''(x)=d4dx4sinxf'''(x)=sinxf'''(π)=sinπf'''(π)=0

Substitute all the values of derivatives of πfor xin Taylor’s equation as follows:

sinx=sinπ+-11!(π-a)+02!(π-a)2+13!(π-a)3+04!(π-a)4+-15!(π-a)5.sinx=-(x-π)+16(x-π)3-1120(x-π)5+..

Thus, the first few terms of the Taylor seriessinxat a=πis given as:

-(x-π)+16(x-π)3-1120(x-π)5+..
