Decide if the statements are true or false. Assume that the Taylor series for a function converges to that function. Give an explanation for your answer. If $f$ is an even function, then the Taylor series for $f$ near $x=0$ has only terms with even exponents.

Taylor Series
Decide if the statements are true or false. Assume that the Taylor series for a function converges to that function. Give an explanation for your answer. The Taylor series for $f(x) g(x)$ about $x=0$ is $$f(0) g(0)+f^{\prime}(0) g^{\prime}(0) x+\frac{f^{\prime \prime}(0) g^{\prime \prime}(0)}{2 !} x^{2}+\cdot.$$
