Firstly I'll try to create a factorial on the bottom and rearrange to produce a sum including the series of the form n = 0 x n n ! = e x \displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{n!} = e^x . n = 0 3 n ( n + 2 ) n ! = n = 0 3 n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ! = n = 0 3 n ( n + 2 1 ) ( n + 2 ) ! \displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{3^n}{(n+2)n!} = \displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{3^n (n+1)}{(n+2)!} = \displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{3^n (n+2-1)}{(n+2)!} = n = 0 3 n ( n + 1 ) ! n = 0 3 n ( n + 2 ) ! = 1 3 n = 1 3 n n ! 1 9 n = 2 3 n n ! \ = \displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{3^n}{(n+1)!}\ - \displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{3^n}{(n+2)!} = \frac{1}{3} \displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{3^n}{n!} - \frac{1}{9} \displaystyle\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{3^n}{n!} = 1 3 ( n = 0 3 n n ! 1 ) 1 9 ( n = 0 3 n n ! 4 ) \ = \frac{1}{3} \left(\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{3^n}{n!} -1 \right) - \frac{1}{9} \left( \displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{3^n}{n!} - 4 \right) = 2 9 n = 0 3 n n ! + 1 9 = 1 9 ( 2 e 3 + 1 ) \ = \frac{2}{9} \displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{3^n}{n!} + \frac{1}{9} = \boxed{ \dfrac{1}{9} (2e^3 +1)}

Why don't write a short Computer Program ? Let your computer do the job for you!

Here's the C Program :


include <stdio.h>

include <math.h>

int main()

{

long int g,d=1;

printf("The number of Test : ");

scanf("%ld",&g);

while(g--){

printf("The Precision (500 for highest Precision) :");

double s=.5,n=1,x;

scanf("%lf",&x);

while(x--){

double f=1,i=1;

while(i<=n){f*=i;i++;}

s+=pow(3,n)/(f*(n+2));

n++;

}

printf("%.14lf",s);

d++;

printf("\n\n");

}

return 0;

}
