Answer

When $n \to \infty$ , then we have $|R_n(x)| \leq \dfrac{|x|^{n+1}}{(n+1)!} \to 0$.

Work Step by Step

The remainder in the Taylor series expansion of the function $f(x)$ centred at $a$ can be written as: $|R_n(x)|=\dfrac{f^{n+1}(c)(x-a)^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}$ Now, we have the Taylor series expansion of the function $f(x)$ centred at $a=0$ as: $f^{(n+1)}(c)=\pm \sin c$ or, $\pm \cos c $ and $|R_n(x)| \leq \dfrac{|x|^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}$ with $|f^{(n+1)}(c)|\leq 1$ for $c \in (0,x)$ Therefore, when $n \to \infty$ , then we have $|R_n(x)| \leq \dfrac{|x|^{n+1}}{(n+1)!} \to 0$.
