[math]f(x)=cos(x+1)[/math] The coefficient of the [imath]x^{10}[/imath] in Maclaurine expansion of [imath]f(x)[/imath] is:
Well this is the question, but, the answer, as in the model answer, is [imath]-\frac{cos(1)}{10!}[/imath]
But wouldn't the sequence of coefficients be like this:
[math]cos(1)\rightarrow -sin(1)\rightarrow -cos(1)\rightarrow sin(1)\rightarrow cos(1)\rightarrow -sin(1)\rightarrow -cos(1)\rightarrow sin(1)\rightarrow cos(1)\rightarrow -sin(1)[/math]Well, So how the answer appears to be something else what is wrong with my steps?

What is the exponent corresponding to each of your listed coefficients? Maybe your counting is off by one ...
