Answer

$P_{4} = 1 - \frac{\pi^{2}}{2!}x^{2} + \frac{\pi^{4}}{4!}x^{4}$

Work Step by Step

$f(x) = cos (\pi x)$ $f(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + \frac{f^{''}(0)}{2!}x^{2} + \frac{f^{'''}(0)}{3!}x^{3} + ... + \frac{f^{n}(0)}{n!}x^{n}$ $f(0) = cos (0) = 1$ $f^{'}(0) = -\pi sin(0) = 0$ $f^{''}(0) = -(\pi^{2}) cos(0) = -\pi^{2}$ $f^{'''}(0) = \pi^{3} sin(0) = 0$ $f^{''''}(0) = \pi^{4} cos(0) = \pi^{4}$ Maclaurin polynomial for $n=4$ is $P_{4} = 1 - \frac{\pi^{2}}{2!}x^{2} + \frac{\pi^{4}}{4!}x^{4}$
