Homework Statement



Define Tn as the sum of the first n terms, for various values of a and x, e.g. T9(2,5) is the sume of the first nine terms when a = 2 and x = 5.

The first n terms are 0-10, including both 0 and 10.

Homework Equations



T0=1, T1= (xlna)1/1, T2= (xlna)2/2!, T3= (xlna)3/3!... Tn = (xlna)n/n!


The Attempt at a Solution



Using a graphing calculator, seq(xlna)n/n!,n,0,10)

The relationship between x and a is: n --> infinity, Sn --> ax, Sn represents the sum of n.

I am not too sure what the question is but this seems like it might help


[tex]e^x=1+x+\frac{x^2}{2!}+\frac{x^3}{3!}+... = \sum_{n=0} ^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{n!}[/tex]
