I have a series question. See below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am supposed to prove that xe^x converges to \[\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{ x^{n+1} }{ n! }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sum_{ n=0 }^{ \infty } \frac{x^n}{n!}=e^x}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then I multiplied it by x

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And I found the error formula, except for evaluating the nth derivative at c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And I have no idea how to choose c. The people online used 0 (the center) as c, but I don't know why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And that is my question

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am not very aware, or don't remember the error formula, can you cite it please ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SolomonZelman, After you are done with this person. Can you please help me?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

perhaps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rn(x)\[\le \frac{ f ^{n+1}x ^{n+1} }{ (n+1)! }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f ^{n+1}(c)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I messed up that part of the formula

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

don't really know that right now.... will say I am not good at it, sorry. gtg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok... thanks anyways
