Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the infinite sum: \( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n^4 \, (-4)^n}{(2n)!} \)

Solution

To evaluate the infinite sum

n=1n4(4)n(2n)!\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{n^4 \, (-4)^n}{(2n)!}

we can approach it by using techniques from series analysis, potentially involving generating functions, special series expansions, or methods like the ratio test to understand convergence.
