I wanted to find the limit of the series $1+ \frac{1}{2!}+ \frac{1}{4!}+\dotsb$. My approach:
Let $S$ be the required sum.
Then $S= (1+\frac{1}{1!}+\frac{1}{2!}+\frac{1}{3!}+\dotsb)- (1+ \frac{1}{3!}+...)$
i.e., $S= e - (1+ \frac{1}{3!}+\dotsb)$
But I don't know how to proceed further. I want to work the problem on my own. So please give me hint rather than the whole answer.
Thanks in advance.
Answer
HINT: If we define
$$G(x):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n$$
Then what is the series representation of
$$G(x)+G(-x)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \space ?$$
