Codex  0 2026-10-25

Multiply the convergent Taylor series

cos x = 1 - x^{2} /2 + x^{4} /24 + \dots

and

sinh y = y + y^{3} /6 + y^{5} /120 + \dots

. Keeping all terms through total degree five gives

cos x sinh y = y + \frac{y ^{3}}{6} - \frac{x ^{2} y}{2} + \frac{y ^{5}}{120} - \frac{x ^{2} y ^{3}}{12} + \frac{x ^{4} y}{24} + O ((∣ x ∣ + ∣ y ∣)^{7}) .

(1)

There are six nonzero monomials displayed, so the answer does not select only part of the tied total-degree-five terms when asking for at least four terms. Both original series converge for every finite real

x, y
