Maclaurin expansion of e^(sin x)
Short answer
Compute derivatives at 0: f(0)=1, f'(0)=1, f''(0)=1, f'''(0)=0, f''''(0)=-3. Then e^(sin x) = 1 + x + x^2/2 - x^4/8 + ...
Obtain the series expansion of e^(sin x) by Maclaurin's theorem as far as the term x⁴.
Let f(x) = e^(sin x). Maclaurin's series: f(x) = f(0) + x f′(0) + (x²/2!) f″(0) + (x³/3!) f‴(0) + (x⁴/4!) f⁗(0) + ...
f = e^(sin x)
f′ = cos x · f
f″ = −sin x · f + cos²x · f = f (cos²x − sin x)
f‴ = f′(cos²x − sin x) + f(−2 sin x cos x − cos x)
f⁗ = f″(cos²x − sin x) + 2f′(−2 sin x cos x − cos x)
+ f(−2cos 2x + sin x)
At x = 0 (sin 0 = 0, cos 0 = 1, f = 1):
f(0) = 1
f′(0) = 1
f″(0) = 1·(1 − 0) = 1
f‴(0) = 1·1 + 1·(0 − 1) = 0
f⁗(0) = 1·1 + 2·1·(−1) + 1·(−2) = −3
So
f(x) = 1 + x + x²/2 + 0·x³ − 3x⁴/24 + ...
Answer: e^(sin x) = 1 + x + x²/2 − x⁴/8 + ...
