I'm trying to understand the reminder of Maclaurin polynomials

Here I show few attempts to use substitution on known polynomials.

Where I'm wrong?

The only thing you are doing wrong is that you have "[itex]R_2(x)[/itex]" and "[itex]R_4(x)[/itex]". What you should have is [itex]R_2(x+2)[/itex] and [itex]R_2(x^2+ 2)[/quote] as you do on the right.[/itex]
 
Thank you for your response,
