SERIESSUM (sum of a power series)

Syntax:

SERIESSUM(x, n, m, Coefficients)

Description:

Returns a power series based on the following formula:

SERIESSUM(x,n,m,a) =

a1*x^n + a2*x^(n+m) + a3*x^(n+2m) + a4*x^(n+3m) + ...

x is the base.

n is the exponent for the first element in the series.

m is the increment for n.

Coefficients is a one-dimensional cell range or array containing the coefficients that the series elements will be multiplied by.

The number of coefficients also determines the number of elements the power series will consist of. For example, if 10 coefficients are given, the series will consist of 10 elements.

Example:

SERIESSUM(2, 2, 1, {1; 2; 3; 4; 5}) returns 516
