Example 4.  First find Maclaurin expansions for  [Graphics:Images/BigOMod_gr_127.gif]  and  [Graphics:Images/BigOMod_gr_128.gif]  of order  [Graphics:Images/BigOMod_gr_129.gif]  and   [Graphics:Images/BigOMod_gr_130.gif],  respectively.
Then experiment and find the order of approximation for their sum, product and quotient.  

Solution 4.
