    Finding the sum of finite terms of a Maclaurin series

    Hi guys, Thanks for the response. I understand now. I actually used MS excel to add up the terms. I also found out that in: ((xLNa)^n)/n! the graph approaches a^x. (For example i put x=2 and a=3 and found the sum of the first 9 terms approached 9.) Just for thought. Thanks again.

    Finding the sum of finite terms of a Maclaurin series

    Haha thanks BUT, Do you agree that the series approaches 2? after all, e^ln2 is 2. If so how can the first 10 terms add up to 1? I never heard of Maple until now, it seems like an algebra application. My question is now, did you solve for S of 10? in this case, what did you use for r, the...

    Finding the sum of finite terms of a Maclaurin series

    Homework Statement Hi. Find the sum of the first 10 terms in the series: 1, (ln2)/1!, (ln2)^2/2!, (ln^3)/3!... Homework Equations I guess the Maclaurin series, which is e^k = 1, k/1!, (k^2)/2!, (k^3)/3!... In my case, k = ln2. The Attempt at a Solution I tried to use the sum of the first...
