Answer

$x^2-\dfrac{x^3}{2}+\dfrac{x^4}{6}-....$

Work Step by Step

The Maclaurin series for $\sin x$ can be defined as: $x-\dfrac{x^3}{3!}+\dfrac{x^5}{5!}+......=\Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{ (-1)^n x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}$ Therefore, $x-\dfrac{x^2}{2}+\dfrac{x^3}{3}-......=\Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n \dfrac{x^{n+1}}{(n+1)}$ This implies that $f(x)=\sin x \ln (1+x)$ $\sin x \times \ln (1+x)=[\Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n \dfrac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}]-[\Sigma_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n \dfrac{x^{n+1}}{(n+1)}]$ and $\sin x \times \ln (1+x)=x^2-\dfrac{x^3}{2}+\dfrac{x^4}{6}-....$
