Question:
Here is an alternative way to evaluate higher derivatives of a function f that may save time. Suppose you can find the Taylor series for f centered at the point a without evaluating derivatives (for example, from a known series). Explain why f(k) (a) = k! multiplied by the coefficient of (x - a)k. Use this idea to evaluate f(3)(0) and f(4)(0) for the following functions. Use known series and do not evaluate derivatives.
f(x) = ecos x
