sequences and series - Convergence of 1+frac12cdot221cdot3cdot5+frac12cdot22cdot321cdot3cdot5cdot7cdot9+...



I am trying to use the ratio test, for that, I need the general formula for the series.



The general formula for the numerator is (n!)2



The denominator is a sequence of odd numbers that grows by two terms every time but how do I represent it?




Also, any tips for how I can guess the series from a sequence would be greatly appreciated.


Answer



Lets try writing the general term
an=(n!)2135(4n5)(4n3)an+1=((n+1)!)2135(4n1)(4n+1)an+1an=((n+1)!)2135(4n1)(4n+1)135(4n5)(4n3)(n!)2an+1an=(n+1)2(4n1)(4n+1)
also you can notice that
135(2k1)(2k+1)=(2k+1)!2kk!
So an=(n!)2(2k2)!2k2(4k3)!
Doing the ratio test should give the same result as above.
