Taylor series expression of the function.












1












$begingroup$


Suppose we are given the following function.



$$f(x)=frac{1}{2}[xsqrt{1-x^2} +sin^{-1}x]$$. Write down the Taylor series expansion about the origin, up to term involving $x^7$, for the function.



This problem was asked in a mathematics exam where students have to solve 40 questions in 150 minutes.



I know the routine method but it is too lengthy.



Is there a more easy("Think out of the box") like approach to solve it.
