SERIESSUMGiven parameters x, n, m, and a, returns the power series sum a1xn + a2x(n+m) + … + aix(n+(i-1)m), where i is the number of entries in range `a`.
Sample Usage
SERIESSUM(1,0,1,{FACT(0),FACT(1),FACT(2),FACT(3),FACT(4)})
SERIESSUM(A2,0,2,B2:B10)
Syntax
SERIESSUM(x, n, m, a)
x – The input to the power series. Varies depending on the type of approximation, may be angle, exponent, or some other value.
n – The initial power to which to raise x in the power series.
m – The additive increment by which to increase x.
a – The array or range containing the coefficients of the power series.
Notes
Power series may be used to approximate various constants and functions, including e (Euler’s number), logarithms, integrals, trigonometric functions, etc. However, this function is usually used for custom user-defined models.
