Answer

$\Sigma_{k=0}^{\infty} \dfrac {e (x-1)^k}{k!}$

Work Step by Step

The Maclaurin Series is $ \displaystyle\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{f^n(0)x^n} {n!} = f(0) + f'(0)x + \frac{(f''(0)x^2)}{2!} + ..\\ $ $f(x)=e^x$ Differentiate: $f'(x)=e^x$ $f''(x)=e^x$ $f'''(x)=e^x$ $f''''(x)=e^x$ Now $f(1)=e$ , $f'(1)=e$ , $f''(1)=e$, $f'''(1)=e$, $f''''(1)=e$ Hence the Maclaurin Series for the function is $\displaystyle e+e(x-1)+ \frac {e} {2}(x-1)^2 + .......+ \frac {e}{n!}(x-1)^n = \Sigma_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac {e (x-1)^k}{k!}$
