So I've got the sum ∞∑n=1n(n−1)!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)′=x∞∑n=0nxn−1n!=∞∑n=1xn(n−1)!.
Try to differentiate again and compare the result with your series.
Second way. we have that
∞∑n=1n(n−1)!xn=∞∑m=0m+1m!xm+1=x2∞∑m=1mm!xm−1+x∞∑m=0xmm!.
What then?
