Let p(x)=e2x1−xp(x)=\dfrac{e^{2x}}{1-x}, and suppose pp is expanded in a Maclaurin series that converges for ∣x∣<1|x|<1. Which of the following gives a closed-form expression for p(n)(0)p^{(n)}(0) for every non-negative integer nn? a) ∑k=0n2kk!\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{n}\frac{2^{k}}{k!} b) n! 2nn!\,2^{n} c) n!∑k=0n2kk!n!\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{n}\frac{2^{k}}{k!} d) ∑k=0n2k(n−k)!\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{n}\frac{2^{k}}{(n-k)!}
