According to the given information, it is required to calculate the Maclaurin series of the given function.
$$\displaystyle{f{{\left({x}\right)}}}={5}{\cos{{\left({\frac{{\pi{x}}}{{{8}}}}\right)}}}$$
By the given table maclaurin series of $$\displaystyle{\cos{{\left({x}\right)}}}$$ is:
$$\displaystyle{\cos{{\left({x}\right)}}}={\sum_{{{n}={0}}}^{\infty}}{\left(-{1}\right)}^{{n}}{\frac{{{x}^{{{2}{n}}}}}{{{\left({2}{n}\right)}!}}}={1}-{\frac{{{x}^{{2}}}}{{{2}!}}}+{\frac{{{x}^{{4}}}}{{{4}!}}}-{\frac{{{x}^{{6}}}}{{{6}!}}}+\ldots$$
In the given series replace x by $$\displaystyle{\left({\frac{{\pi{x}}}{{{8}}}}\right)}$$:
$$\displaystyle{\cos{{\left({\frac{{\pi{x}}}{{{8}}}}\right)}}}={\sum_{{{n}={0}}}^{\infty}}{\left(-{1}\right)}^{{n}}{\frac{{{\left({\frac{{\pi{x}}}{{{8}}}}\right)}^{{{2}{n}}}}}{{{\left({2}{n}\right)}!}}}={1}-{\frac{{{\left({\frac{{\pi{x}}}{{{8}}}}\right)}^{{2}}}}{{{2}!}}}+{\frac{{{\left({\frac{{\pi{x}}}{{{8}}}}\right)}^{{4}}}}{{{4}!}}}-{\frac{{{\left({\frac{{\pi{x}}}{{{8}}}}\right)}^{{6}}}}{{{6}!}}}+\ldots$$
$$\displaystyle={\sum_{{{n}={0}}}^{\infty}}{\left(-{1}\right)}^{{n}}{\frac{{\pi^{{{2}{n}}}{x}^{{{2}{n}}}}}{{{8}^{{{2}{n}}}{\left({2}{n}\right)}!}}}={1}-{\frac{{\pi^{{2}}{x}^{{2}}}}{{{128}}}}+{\frac{{\pi^{{4}}{x}^{{4}}}}{{{98304}}}}-{\frac{{\pi^{{6}}{x}^{{6}}}}{{{8}^{{6}}{\left({6}!\right)}}}}+\ldots$$
$$\displaystyle{5}{\cos{{\left({\frac{{\pi{x}}}{{{8}}}}\right)}}}={5}{\sum_{{{n}={0}}}^{\infty}}{\left(-{1}\right)}^{{n}}{\frac{{\pi^{{{2}{n}}}{x}^{{{2}{n}}}}}{{{8}^{{{2}{n}}}{\left({2}{n}\right)}!}}}={5}{\left({1}-{\frac{{\pi^{{2}}{x}^{{2}}}}{{{128}}}}+{\frac{{\pi^{{4}}{x}^{{4}}}}{{{98304}}}}-{\frac{{\pi^{{6}}{x}^{{6}}}}{{{8}^{{6}}{\left({6}!\right)}}}}+\ldots\right)}$$
