1. If y = ln cos x, obtain the Maclaurin expansion of y up to and including the


term in x4. [7m]

Hence, estimate the value of y = ln cos 10

3. The function g is defined as 2 , for all values of x.

a) Show that g(x) + g(x) + g(x) = 0.

Hence, show that the Maclaurin series for g(x) is
3 x 3 x 2 + 3 x 4
