1. We already know that sin x = x x3!3 +x5!5 ::: + ( 1)2n+1 (2n+1)!x2n+1 + :::.
Substitute x by x3we have sin x3 = x3 x9
3! +x15
5! ::: + ( 1)2n+1 x6n+3 (2n + 1)!+ :::
and f(15)(0) is the coe¢ cient of x15 above, which is 5!1. 6.

221p 1 +21p+31p+41p + :::
Hence de…ne A = 1 +21p+31p+41p+ :::. Then 1 +21p +31p +41p + :::

A 22pA = 2p 1 2p 1 1:
21. As x 0, all the term are positive, hence there is no root on the right side of 0:
For x < 0, the series is
1 jxj 2! +jxj2
4! ::: = X1 n=0
( 1)n p jxj 2n
(2n)! = cosp jxj
Hence the root occur whilep
jxj = 2 + m for m = 0; 1; 2; ::: as x < 0.

25. One check that the derivative of f (x) := u3+ v3+ w3 3uvw is zero and f (0) = 1: One will use the following relation
u0(x) = w (x) ; w0(x) = v (x) ;
v0(x) = u (x) : 26.Follow the hint.
