### Problem 8.
The first five terms of the Maclaurin series of function$f(x)=\frac{sin(\pi x)}{x}$ are
<br>
$g_{4}(x)=\pi -\frac{\pi ^{3}x^{2}}{6}+\frac{\pi ^{5}x^{4}}{120}-\frac{\pi ^{7}x^{6}}{5040}+\frac{\pi ^{9}x^{8}}{362880}$<br><br>

## Challenging Questions
### Problem 8.
### Problem 9.

Find power series of $\frac{1}{x^{2}+4x+3}$ in term of $(x-1)$.
<br>
<div class = "answer">
$\frac{1}{x^{2}+4x+3}=\frac{1}{\left ( x+1 \right )\left ( x+3 \right )}= \frac{1}{2\left ( 1+x \right )}-\frac{1}{2\left ( 3+x \right )}$
<br><br>
write $x$ in form of $(x-1)$, knowing that $\left | x-1 \right |< 2$
<br><br>
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{4\left ( 1+\frac{x-1}{2} \right )}-\frac{1}{8\left ( 1+\frac{x-1}{4} \right )}$
<br><br>
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{4}\left [ 1-\frac{x-1}{2}+\frac{\left ( x-1 \right )^{2}}{2^{2}} +...+\left ( -1 \right )^{n}\frac{\left ( x-1 \right )^{n}}{2^{n}}+...\right ]-\frac{1}{8}\left [ 1-\frac{x-1}{4}+\frac{\left ( x-1 \right )^{2}}{4^{2}} +...+\left ( -1 \right )^{n}\frac{\left ( x-1 \right )^{n}}{4^{n}}+...\right ] $
<br><br>
$\Rightarrow \quad \sum_{n=0}^{\infty }\left ( -1 \right )^{n}\left ( \frac{1}{2^{n+2}} - \frac{1}{2^{2n+3}}\right )\left ( x-1 \right )^{n}$ for $-1< x< 3$

### Problem 10.
(a) Write the Maclaurin series expansion of the function up to the $4^{th}$ power:

$$f(x) = x \cos \left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}\right)-(\alpha-x^3)\sin x \text{ for all } \alpha\in\mathbb{R}$$
