Answer

Therefore, the Taylor polynomial with 4 nonzero terms is 9x729x36+59049x51204782969x75040.

Steps

Step 1 :The Maclaurin series for sinx is given by sinx=xx33!+x55!x77!+.

Step 2 :Substitute 9x into the series for x, we get sin(9x)=9x(9x)33!+(9x)55!(9x)77!+.

Step 3 :The first four nonzero terms of the series are 9x,(9x)33!,(9x)55!,(9x)77!.

Step 4 :Simplify these terms, we get 9x,729x36,59049x5120,4782969x75040.

Step 5 :So, the first four nonzero terms in the Maclaurin series for sin(9x) are 9x,729x36,59049x5120,4782969x75040.

Step 6 :Therefore, the Taylor polynomial with 4 nonzero terms is 9x729x36+59049x51204782969x75040.
