The Maclaurin series for cos(x) is given by:
cos(x)=n=0(1)nx2n(2n)!=1x22!+x44!x66!+x88!x1010!+...
Use the Maclaurin series to multiply for cos(x) by x4 and obtain the Maclaurin series for f(x)=x4cos(x) as shown below.
x4cos(x)=x4(n=0(1)nx2n(2n)!)
=n=0(1)nx4x2n(2n)!
=n=0(1)nx2n+4(2n)!
Therefore, the Maclaurin series for f(x)=x4cos(x) is,
f(x)=n=0(1)nx2n+4(2n)!
Find the third term in this series as it is indicated below
f(x)=n=0(1)nx2n+4(2n)!
=x4x62!+x84!x106!+x128!...
=x4x62+x824x10720+x1240320...
Thus, the third term of the series is x824
