i got the answer but i have no idea where the first -1 comes from
it is -1(-1)^n(n!)/(x^(n+1))

#

i thought it wouldve just been (-1)^n(n!)/(x^(n+1))

#

?

(-1)^n*n!/x^n

ah, this is just taylor series

#

the first -1 comes in when you plug in 1.
-1(-1)^1 = 1

#

which is what you get as f'(x)

My answer is right?

had f(x) been 1/x instead, (-1)^n(n!)/(x^(n+1)) wouldve been correct
