Solution

The given expressionIt represents looks an like infinite you're series asking: for

the\ sum[ of\ thesum following_{ infinitek series=:

1}[ ^\insumfty_{ \kfrac={1(}^{k+in4fty)!}}{ \frac{(k + 44)!}{4! k!} 4!^ \kcd \ot]

To k simplify this! expression, \ let's breakcd it down step byot step.

###4 Step ^1k: Simpl}. ify the factorial\ expression ]

The factorialTo expression can evaluate be rewritten as or:

\ simplify[ \ thisfrac{ series(k, let's + analyze it step by4 step)!:

}{4---

! k!###} \ ]

This is1 equivalent. ** to:

Factor\ial[ \frac Simpl{(ificationk+4**)(k
+3The)(k term+2 )(k((+k1+)}{44!} )]

Since!\ 4)!=can24be4)! = can24 be, expanded this becomes as:

: $$(k[ \frac{(k++4)(k+3)(k4+2)!)(k+1 =)} ({k24} +$$

4###)( Step k2:+ Substitute into3 the series)( Now thek series+ becomes:

2$$)(sum_{kk+=1}^{1\in)fty}k \frac!. {(\k+4)(k+3)(]

k+2)(kSub+1)}{24} \cdstitot uting4^k$$

thisThis is a series where each term involves a into product of four consecutive numbers the, scaled by a factor series of 2424, and multiplied by: 4^k \.

[ ###\frac Step{ 3: Analyze( the series The series involvesk polynomial terms in +k+ k, which suggests that this could4 be a more complex series)!, potentially related}{ to generating4 functions or hyper!geometric \ series.

to solve factorialCancel-based ( infinite series?

kTip!: When dealing) with series from involving factorial thes, it's numerator often helpful and to rewrite factorial denominator expressions as: binomial\ coefficients or to use[ generating functions for\ simplificationfrac.{(k+4)!}{4! \cdot k! \cdot 4^k} = \frac{(k+4)(k+3)(k+2)(k+1)}{4! \cdot 4^k}. ]

Since 4!=244! = 24, the series becomes: βˆ‘k=1∞(k+4)(k+3)(k+2)(k+1)24β‹…4k.\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(k+4)(k+3)(k+2)(k+1)}{24 \cdot 4^k}.


2. Separate Constants and Rewrite

Distribute the denominator 4k4^k: 124βˆ‘k=1∞(k+4)(k+3)(k+2)(k+1)4k.\frac{1}{24} \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(k+4)(k+3)(k+2)(k+1)}{4^k}.

The goal is to analyze the sum βˆ‘k=1∞(k+4)(k+3)(k+2)(k+1)4k\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(k+4)(k+3)(k+2)(k+1)}{4^k}.


3. Simplify Using Binomial Coefficients

To simplify the summation further, we observe that the numerator (k+4)(k+3)(k+2)(k+1)(k+4)(k+3)(k+2)(k+1) grows rapidly, making closed-form expressions challenging. Instead, we calculate the initial terms for a more concrete answer or rewrite using a generating function or binomial expansion.

Would you like me to continue with an approximation, numerical evaluation, or attempt a generating function approach?
