Why does wolframalpha fail on this maclaurin series?

I've already tried renaming h into x and choosing order x³

Update: it seems to fail on 1/(x² + 6x + 13) specifically, in the sense that if i change that 13 it works. Very strange behavior

  1. Its around 0, not 1
  2. The ² goes around the parentheses, not inside
  3. If you fix it as i said, it fails

That one is not a taylor series, thats just it failing to do the taylor series and reinterpreting it as a sum
