Prove Taylor's theorem with some form of remainder.

An infinitely differentiable function f:R→Rf: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} satisfies the differential equation

f(3)(x)=f(x)f^{(3)}(x)=f(x)

and the conditions f(0)=1,f′(0)=f′′(0)=0f(0)=1, f^{\prime}(0)=f^{\prime \prime}(0)=0. If R>0R>0 and jj is a positive integer, explain why we can find an MjM_{j} such that

∣f(j)(x)∣⩽Mj\left|f^{(j)}(x)\right| \leqslant M_{j}

for all xx with ∣x∣⩽R|x| \leqslant R. Explain why we can find an MM such that

∣f(j)(x)∣⩽M\left|f^{(j)}(x)\right| \leqslant M

for all xx with ∣x∣⩽R|x| \leqslant R and all j⩾0j \geqslant 0.

Use your form of Taylor's theorem to show that

f(x)=∑n=0∞x3n(3n)!f(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{3 n}}{(3 n) !}
