A.
[tex] sin^2 x=0+x^2-\frac{x^4}{3!}+\frac{(-1)^{2n}}{{(2n+1)!}^2}{x^{4n+2}}+O(4n+2)[/tex]
B.
[tex] xe^x=x+x^2+\frac{x^3}{2!}+\frac{x^4}{3!}++\frac{x^{n+1}}{n!}+O(n+1)[/tex]
C.
[tex] xsin^3 x=0+x^4-\frac{x^6}{3!}+\frac{(-1)^{2n}}{{(2n+1)!}^2}{x^{5n+6}}+O(5n+4)[/tex]

A:
[tex] cos 2x=cos^2x-sin^2x=1-2sin^2x\\[/tex]
[tex] f(x)=sin^2x=\frac{1-cos 2x}{2}\\[/tex]
[tex] f(0)=0\\[/tex]
[tex] f'(x)=\frac{1-cos 2x}{2}=cos 2xsin2x=\frac{sin4x}{2}\\[/tex]
[tex] f'(0)=0\\[/tex]
[tex] f''(x)=2cos4x\\[/tex]
[tex] f^{(3)}=-8sin4x\\[/tex]
[tex] f^{(4)}=-32cos4x\\[/tex]
i know to to use each derivative to build a member out of it.
how to defne the n'th member??

regarding b:
[tex] xe^x=x+x^2+\frac{x^3}{2!}+\frac{x^4}{3!}++\frac{x^{n+1}}{n!}+O(n+1)[/tex]
i am sure that its correct because i took the series for e^x and multiplied eah member by x.
so the only error that could be is with the remainder .
i thought that if we multiply the remainder by x we add 1 to it
where is my mistake??

regarding C:
[tex] sin3x=3sinx-4sin^3x\\[/tex]
[tex] f(x)=sin^3x=\frac{3sinx-sin3x}{4}\\[/tex]
[tex] f(0)=0\\[/tex]
[tex] f'(x)=\frac{3cosx-\frac{cos3x}{3}}{4}\\[/tex]
[tex] f'(0)=0[/tex]
[tex] f''(x)=\frac{-3sinx-\frac{sin3x}{9}}{4}\\[/tex]
[tex] f''(0)=0[/tex]
for every member i get 0
??

did i solved A,B correctly
where is my mistake for C

??
