To solve the given series:
S=∑n=0∞(2n+1)!5n+1
we will approach the problem step by step.
Step 1: Break the series into two separate sums
The given expression involves both 5n and 1 in the numerator. We can split the series into two sums:
S=∑n=0∞(2n+1)!5n+∑n=0∞(2n+1)!1
Thus, we have two sums to compute:
- S1=∑n=0∞(2n+1)!5n
- S2=∑n=0∞(2n+1)!1
Step 2: Solve for S2
The second sum, S2, is a known series. This is related to the expansion of sinh(x), which is given by:
sinh(x)=∑n=0∞(2n+1)!x2n+1
For x=1, we get:
sinh(1)=∑n=0∞(2n+1)!12n+1=∑n=0∞(2n+1)!1
Thus,
S2=sinh(1)
Using the approximation sinh(1)≈1.175201, but for symbolic accuracy, we'll keep it in the form sinh(1).
Step 3: Solve for S1
Now consider the sum S1=∑n=0∞(2n+1)!5n.
This sum can be rewritten as:
S1=5∑n=0∞(2n+1)!n
We can split n as:
n=2(2n+1)−1
Thus,
S1=25∑n=0∞(2n+1)!(2n+1)−25∑n=0∞(2n+1)!1
The first term simplifies to:
∑n=0∞(2n+1)!(2n+1)=∑n=0∞(2n)!1=cosh(1)
where cosh(x) is the hyperbolic cosine. For x=1, cosh(1) is approximately 1.54308063482.
Thus, S1 becomes:
S1=25(cosh(1)−sinh(1))
Using the known values of cosh(1)≈1.54308063482 and sinh(1)≈1.17520119364, we get:
S1≈25(1.54308063482−1.17520119364)=25×0.36787944118≈0.91969860295
Step 4: Combine S1 and S2
Now we can combine the two sums to find the total:
S≈0.91969860295+1.17520119364=2.09489979659
Step 5: Relating to the known result
The series is known to be equal to:
S=2e+e2
Using e≈2.71828, we calculate:
2e+e2=22.71828+2.718282≈1.35914+0.73576=2.0949
Thus, the series indeed evaluates to:
S=2e+e2
Conclusion
The sum of the given infinite series is:
2e+e2
