Taylor Series expansion and first four terms of $7x^2 e^{-4x}$

60 Views Asked by At

As the series I got

$$ \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n(4x)^n/n! $$

which I think is right.

However, I am not sure how to get the first four non zero terms.

We have

$$7x^2 e^{-4x}=7x^2\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-4x)^n}{n!}=7\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-4)^n}{n!}x^{n+2}=7\sum_{n=2}^\infty\frac{(-4)^{n-2}}{(n-2)!}x^{n}$$
