Calculus 2

Look at the Taylor polynomial for cos(x)\cos(x) and we're cutting it off at degree 4, T4(x)T_4(x). We want to figure out what values of xx you can plug in there for it to be accurate to two decimal places.

Using a Taylor polynomial, approximate a function when x is in the range [7,upper bound][7, \, \text{upper bound}].

Find the Taylor series for the function f(x)=exf(x) = e^x centered at a=2a = 2.

Find the sum n=0(1)nπ2n+142n+1(2n+1)!\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n \pi^{2n+1}}{4^{2n+1} (2n+1)!} and evaluate it.
