When the center changes from 0 to pi, the Taylor approximations shift their region of accuracy to the neighborhood of x=pi. The quadratic approximation changes from 1−x2/2 to -1+(x-pi)^2/2.

The first Taylor polynomial approximation to cos(x) centered at a=0 is the constant line y=1. The second Taylor polynomial approximation is the quadratic curve y=1−x2/2.
