Question: Let C(x) = 1 x 2 /2! + x 4 /4! x 6 /6! + . (a) Show that C(x)

Let C(x) = 1 − x2/2! + x4/4! − x6/6! + · · · .

(a) Show that C(x) has an infinite radius of convergence.
(b) Prove that C(x) and ƒ(x) = cos x are both solutions of y" = −y with initial conditions y(0) = 1, y'(0) = 0. This Initial Value Problem has a unique solution, so we have C(x) = cos x for all x.
