Answer

Maclaurin series is: $\Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$ and $R=\infty$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=coshx=\Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$ $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_{n}}|=\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}|\frac{\frac{x^{2n+2}}{(2n+2)!}}{\frac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}}|$ $=\lim\limits_{n \to\infty}|\frac{x^{2}}{(2n+2)(2n+1)}|$ $=\lim\limits_{n \to\infty}|\frac{x^{2}}{\infty}|$ $=0\lt 1$ Therefore, the Maclaurin series converges for all values of $x$. Maclaurin series is: $\Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$ and $R=\infty$
