# Math Help - Convergence in the form p^n/n!

1. ## Convergence in the form p^n/n!

Are these sufficient answers? I feel like maybe they are not convincing enough...

They don't convince me at all. Can you explain your reasoning?

well, any complex number $z$ can be written $\rho(e^i\theta)$, and $\rho \in R : \rho = |z|$.

Therefore $\sum\rho^n/n! = e^\rho$.

Yes, but $\lim\text{ }a_n=0\implies \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_n<\infty$?

No, although in this case we know that since $\rho$ is real, the sum is actually equal to $e^\rho$. Should I write that down?
