I need to find the sum of 2^n/n! from n=2 to infinity, i know that it converges to e^x but how do i find the sum?

SUMMARY
The sum of the series 2^n/n! from n=2 to infinity converges to e^2. This conclusion is derived from the general formula for the exponential function, where the series x^n/n! sums to e^x. By substituting x with 2, the result is directly obtained as e^2. This method simplifies the calculation significantly.
