$\textrm{10.8.{7} Find the Taylor polynomial of orders $0, 1, 2$, and $3$ generated by $f$ at $a$.}$

\begin{align*} \displaystyle
f(x)&=\sin{x}
\end{align*}

\[ \begin{array}{llll}\displaystyle
f^0(x)&=\sin{x}&\therefore f^0(\frac{5x}{6})&=\frac{1}{2}\\
\\
f^1(x)&=\cos{x}&\therefore f^1(\frac{5x}{6})&=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\
\\
f^2(x)&=-\sin{x}&\therefore f^2(\frac{5x}{6})&=-\frac{1}{2}\\
\\
f^3(x)&=-\cos{x}&\therefore f^3(\frac{5x}{6})&=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\
\end{array} \]\\

$\textrm{substitute in values}\\$
$\displaystyle
f(x)\approx\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{0!}(x-(\frac{5 \pi}{6}))^{0}
+\frac{- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{1!}(x-(\frac{5 \pi}{6}))^{1}
+\frac{- \frac{1}{2}}{2!}(x-(\frac{5 \pi}{6}))^{2}
+\frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{3!}(x-(\frac{5 \pi}{6}))^{3}$
$\textrm{substitute in values}$
$\displaystyle
\sin{\left (x \right )}\approx \frac{1}{2}
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}(x- \frac{5 \pi}{6})
- \frac{1}{4}(x- \frac{5 \pi}{6})^{2}
+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{12}(x- \frac{5 \pi}{6})^{3}

It's correct, good job :)
 
I expect that answer is correct but your work is very confusing! You state the question as "find the Taylor series" at x= a. But then you have "sin\left(\frac{5x}{6}\right)". Did you mean \frac{5\pi}{6}? If so where were you told that a= \frac{5\pi}{6}.
 
I was confused too but that's the way MML gave it.

its a very tedious process easy to make errors
 
For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-slog2)+e^(-slog3)+e^(-slog4)+... , Re(s)>1 Riemann extended the Zeta function to the region where s≠1 using analytical extension. New Zeta function is in the form of contour integration, which appears simple but is actually more inconvenient to analyze than the original Zeta function. The original Zeta function already contains all the information about the distribution of prime numbers. So we only handle with original Zeta...
