Explanation:

∑ₙ₌₀°° n! xⁿ

Use ratio test:

L = lim(n→∞)│aₙ₊₁ / aₙ│

L = lim(n→∞)│[(n+1)! xⁿ⁺¹] / (n! xⁿ)│

L = lim(n→∞)│[(n+1)! / n!] (xⁿ⁺¹ / xⁿ)│

L = lim(n→∞)│(n+1) x│

L = ∞

The series is divergent for all values of x.

∑ₙ₌₀°° xⁿ / n!

Use ratio test:

L = lim(n→∞)│aₙ₊₁ / aₙ│

L = lim(n→∞)│[xⁿ⁺¹ / (n+1)!] / (xⁿ / n!)│

L = lim(n→∞)│[xⁿ⁺¹ / (n+1)!] (n! / xⁿ)│

L = lim(n→∞)│(xⁿ⁺¹ / xⁿ) [n! / (n+1)!]│

L = lim(n→∞)│x / (n+1)│

L = 0

The series is convergent for all values of x.
