summation - Calculating the sum sumin=1nftyfracn(n1)!xn?



So I've got the sum n=1n(n1)!xn




To show that it converges for all real numbers, I used the ratio test. And found the convergence radius to be R=1L,R=


The next task is to calculate the sum, and I feel sort of lost.. I think I want the sum too look like a geometric series. Or substitute it with something else.


Answer



Recall that
ex=n=0xnn!.


First way. Note that
xex=x(ex)=xn=0nxn1n!=n=1xn(n1)!.

Try to differentiate again and compare the result with your series.



Second way. we have that

n=1n(n1)!xn=m=0m+1m!xm+1=x2m=1mm!xm1+xm=0xmm!.


What then?
