• B) \(S _ { 2 } ( x ) = 1 + x ^ { 2 } , S _ { 4 } ( x ) = 1 + x ^ { 2 } + x ^ { 4 } , S _ { 6 } ( x ) = 1 + x ^ { 2 } + x ^ { 4 } + x ^ { 6 } , S _ { 8 } ( x ) = 1 + x ^ { 2 } + x ^ { 4 } + x ^ { 6 } + x ^ { 8 }\)
• C) \(S _ { 2 } ( x ) = 1 - x ^ { 2 } , S _ { 4 } ( x ) = 1 - x ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 4 } , S _ { 6 } ( x ) = 1 - x ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 4 } - x ^ { 6 } , S _ { 8 } ( x ) = 1 - x ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 4 } - x ^ { 6 } - x ^ { 8 }\)
• D) \(S _ { 2 } ( x ) = 1 + x ^ { 2 } , S _ { 4 } ( x ) = 1 + x ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 4 } , S _ { 6 } ( x ) = 1 + x ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 4 } + x ^ { 6 } , S _ { 8 } ( x ) = 1 + x ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 4 } + x ^ { 6 } - x ^ { 8 }\)
• E) \(S _ { 2 } ( x ) = 1 - x ^ { 2 } , S _ { 4 } ( x ) = 1 - x ^ { 2 } + x ^ { 4 } , S _ { 6 } ( x ) = 1 - x ^ { 2 } + x ^ { 4 } + x ^ { 6 } , S _ { 8 } ( x ) = 1 - x ^ { 2 } + x ^ { 4 } + x ^ { 6 } + x ^ { 8 }\)
