1. A cosine can be approximated by the following infinite series:
cosx=1-(x2/2!)+(x4/4!)-(x6/6!)+...
Write a function that will calculate this for any x and y number of terms. If y > 85 or y is not a positive integer, return an error.

2. A hybrid linked note is an instrument that provides investors fixed income and equity market. It is structured by combining a return that is 75% equity and 25% fixed income. The investment pays the greater of the par value, $1,000, or the price times the 75% percentage increase in the S&P 500 plus 25% the return on the Barclays US Aggregate Index.
Write 2 functions (hlnPayoff, hlnReturn). The first, hlnPayoff, calculates the security payoff at maturity. The second, hlnReturn, calculates the annualized return assuming continuous compounding. The function hlnReturn should call the payoff function.
