Limit of Taylor Polynomial for Tn(x) as n Approaches Infinity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The limit of the Taylor polynomial Tn(x) defined as Tn(x) = 1 + 2x + 3x² + ... + nx^(n-1) as n approaches infinity at x = 1/8 converges to a specific value. The solution involves recognizing the polynomial's behavior as n increases and applying series expansion techniques. The final result confirms that the limit can be computed effectively using established mathematical principles.
