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!\ , 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 , and multiplied by: 4^k \.

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 , the series becomes:
2. Separate Constants and Rewrite
Distribute the denominator :
The goal is to analyze the sum .
3. Simplify Using Binomial Coefficients
To simplify the summation further, we observe that the numerator 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?
