calculus - Proving the convergence of the series sumij=1nftyfrac(2j)2j! without root or ratio test



I am given the series:
j=1(2j)2j! and I can show that it converges by using the ratio test, but I'm not sure how to approach to prove its convergence without it.



Answer



Let
aj=(2j)2j!.
Then
aj+1aj=(2j+1)2(j+1)!(2j)2j!=22(j+1)2jj+1=4j+1.



Therefore,
for
j9,
aj+1aj12.



By induction,
for

j9 and
k1,
aj+kaj12k.



Therefore
for
j9 and
k1,

aj+kaj12k
so that,
for j9,
k=1aj+kk=1aj12k=aj.




Since initial terms of a sum
do not affect the convergence,
the sum converges.
