In lecture we derived that the coeffcients are given by $$ c_{n} = \frac{1}{n!}f^{(n)}(z_{0}) $$ \begin{enumerate} \item Find the first four nonzero coeffcients for $\sin{\theta}$ expanded around the origin. \vfill \item Write out the series approximation, correct to fourth order, for $\sin{\theta}$ expanded around the origin. \bigskip\bigskip \centerline{$\sin{\theta}$ = \underline{\hspace{4 in}}} \bigskip\bigskip \item Find the first four nonzero coe±cients for $\sin{\theta}$ expanded around $\theta_{0} = \frac{\pi}{6}$. \vfill \item Write out the series approximation, correct to fourth order, for $\sin{\theta}$ expanded around $\theta_{0} = \frac{\pi}{6}$. \bigskip\bigskip \centerline{$\sin{\theta}$ = \underline{\hspace{4 in}}} \bigskip\bigskip \item What does it mean to write a series expansion around the point a? \vfill \item Briefly describe in words how to expand the series approximation for a function, correct to fourth order. \end{enumerate} \vfill \leftline{\it by Corinne Manogue} \leftline{\copyright 2005 Corinne A.
