Pn is the taylor polynomial of the degree (at most) n centred at x0=0 for the function cos(x)
The function should take inputs a and n and return Pn evaluated at x=a
function Pn = taylor_cos(a,n)
x=a;
Pn=1;
for i=1:n;
addterm=((-1)^i)*(x^(2*i))/factorial(2*(i));
Pn=Pn+addterm;
end
% thats my version but for some reason its incorrect

Would you like to show us the website of the grader, I have tried many of the cody questions in Matlab Community Cody. And always I get full marks

If a large x is selected, then use
function Pn = taylor_cos(a,n)
x=mod(abs(a),2*pi); %
if(x>=pi)
x = 2*pi-x;
end
Pn=1;
for i=1:n
addterm=((-1)^i)*(x^(2*i))/factorial(2*(i));
Pn=Pn+addterm;
end

We can see how well it works. Your code is below.
Now, let me test it out, in a symbolic form.
syms X
P8 = taylor_cos(X,4)
Is that a correct Taylor expansion for cos(X)?
Yes. In fact, it is.
taylor(cos(X),'order',10)
Does it correctly extimate cos(X), for reasonably small X?
taylor_cos(0.1,4)
cos(0.1)
It seems to predict reasonably well.
My guess is you are hoping this will predict correctly for large values of X. And that is of course not true.
taylor_cos(20,10)
Yes, that is garbage. Perhaps you need to do some reading about convergence of infinite series. Even if this series will converge in theory, after a vast number of terms, this does not mean you will expect it to converge in practice, using computation with a finite number of decimal digits.
function Pn = taylor_cos(a,n)
x=a;
Pn=1;
for i=1:n;
addterm=((-1)^i)*(x^(2*i))/factorial(2*(i));
Pn=Pn+addterm;
end
end
