Homework Statement
Using the macluarin's expansion for sinx show that \int sinx dx=-cosx+c
Homework Equations
sinx=\sum_{n=0} ^\infty \frac{(-1)^nx^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}
The Attempt at a Solution
Well I can easily write out some of the series and just show that it is equal to -cosx
but if I integrate the representation for the infinite series i get
\int sinx dx= \sum_{n=0} ^\infty \frac{(-1)^nx^{2n+2}}{(2n+1)!}
shouldn't -cosx be:
\int sinx dx= \sum_{n=0} ^\infty \frac{(-1)^{n+1}x^{2n+2}}{(2n+1)!}
and also I am supposed to get x^{2n} not what I got
