The Taylor series of e^(2x) about x = 0 has the coefficient of x³ equal to
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 1.3
- Step 1: e^(ax) = Σ (ax)ⁿ/n!, so the x³ term is a³x³/3!. Step 2. The coefficient is 8/6 = 1.3. Answer: 1.3. Why not the others: 2.7 is what you get if you divide by 3 instead of 3!. 0.3 is what you get if you forget to cube a. 2 is what you get if you give the coefficient of x².
