Deriving a Taylor Series for Sinx: Is it the Same as a Power Series?

[nameVoid]

Is it correct to take the derivative of a taylor series the same as you would for a power series ie:
<br /> sinx=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1)^n\frac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}<br />
<br /> \frac{d}{dx}(sinx)=cosx=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(-1)^n(2n+1)\frac{x^{2n}}{(2n+1)!}<br />
it seems as if it wouldn't be
<br /> cosx=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1)^n\frac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}<br />

have a look at your limits of summation

Also, is this true?

\frac{(2n+1)}{(2n+1)!} = \frac{1}{(2n)!}

for example

\frac{7}{7!} = \frac{1}{6!}

Yup, that is true, you can prove it easily by factoring out (2n+1) from (2n+1)!
