For sum(Cn*x^n)
I'm supposed to enter in c3-c7
I already know that c4 and c6 are 0 because the derivative is something*sin(0)=0
but for the odd numbered c's I am having problems...
i know that the taylor series for sinx = sum( (-1^n) * x^(2n+1) )/ (2n+1)!
so i just substituted in 5x and multiplied by 5x^2 and got
5sum( (-1^n) * ( 5^(2n+1) * x^(2n+3) ) / (2n+1)!
so for c3 i got 5(-1^3)(5^7)/(7)! = -5^8/7!
but I am not getting the answer right for this. Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong.
