I have a series question. See below
I am supposed to prove that xe^x converges to \[\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{ x^{n+1} }{ n! }\]
I got the error formula, except for the fact that no interval was provided, so I don't know how to choose c. Someone online I saw used 0 as c, but I don't know why. Btw, its a Maclaurin
\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sum_{ n=0 }^{ \infty } \frac{x^n}{n!}=e^x}\)
Yes
Then I multiplied it by x
yes
And I found the error formula, except for evaluating the nth derivative at c
And I have no idea how to choose c. The people online used 0 (the center) as c, but I don't know why
And that is my question
I am not very aware, or don't remember the error formula, can you cite it please ?
Yes
@SolomonZelman, After you are done with this person. Can you please help me?
perhaps
Rn(x)\[\le \frac{ f ^{n+1}x ^{n+1} }{ (n+1)! }\]
\[f ^{n+1}(c)\]
Sorry, I messed up that part of the formula
don't really know that right now.... will say I am not good at it, sorry. gtg
Ok... thanks anyways
