I attached a picture of the problem from my online HW. I know how to solve the problem through direct differentiation, but that would too long to find the derivatives for this problem, and the problem actually suggests that I find another way. So my question is, what's the best way to solve this?

Multiply the Taylor series of [itex]\sin(7x)[/itex] by [itex]x^3[/itex].
 
Thank you... wouldve never guessed it was so simple.
