TopicTaylor series
TypeExponential or trigonometric base functions

  1. Given that \(y = \mathrm { e } ^ { x } \sin x\)
    1. show that
    $$\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 6 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 6 } } = k \frac { \mathrm {~d} ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } }$$ where \(k\) is a constant to be determined.
  2. Hence determine the first 5 non-zero terms in the Maclaurin series expansion for \(y\), giving each coefficient in simplest form.
