Exponential Series

The document defines exponential series and provides properties and examples of expanding exponential functions as infinite series. Key points include: - The exponential function ex can be expressed as an infinite series involving powers of x and factorials in the denominators. - Similar expansions are provided for e-x, e, and other variations involving addition or subtraction of exponential functions. - Examples are given of expanding specific exponential functions like e4x, e3x+4, and properties are defined like finding coefficients. - Identities are shown relating exponential series to trigonometric and other common functions.

Put x = -x in (1) we get
