Example 4. First
find Maclaurin expansions for
and
of
order
and
, respectively.
Then experiment and find the order of approximation for their sum,
product and quotient.

Then find the series for their sum.

Then find the series for their product.

Then find the series for their quotient.

Interpret the quotient as the product of
and
and
see what's happening.
