Proving $‖\exp(Ax)-e^{-\eta x}\sum_{n=0}^l\frac{(\eta x)^n}{n!}P^n‖<\epsilon$

I'm having trouble knowing where to start with this assignment.

Let $A = \{a_{ij}\}_{i,j=1,\dots,n}$ be a matrix, and let $\eta = max_i(-a_{ii})>0$.

With $P=I+\frac{1}{\eta}A$, where $I$ is the identity matrix.

Let $‖\cdot‖$ be the matrix norm induced by the maximum norm for $\mathbb{R}^n$. Show that

$$‖\exp(Ax)-e^{-\eta x}\sum_{n=0}^l\frac{(\eta x)^n}{n!}P^n‖<\epsilon$$

if

$$\sum_{n=0}^l\frac{(\eta x)^n}{n!}e^{-\eta x}>1-\epsilon$$

I've shown that

$$\exp(Ax)=-e^{-\eta x}\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(\eta x)^n}{n!}P^n$$
