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!)21⋅3⋅5⋯(4n−5)(4n−3)an+1=((n+1)!)21⋅3⋅5⋯(4n−1)(4n+1)an+1an=((n+1)!)21⋅3⋅5⋯(4n−1)(4n+1)⋅1⋅3⋅5⋯(4n−5)(4n−3)(n!)2an+1an=(n+1)2(4n−1)(4n+1)
also you can notice that
1⋅3⋅5⋯(2k−1)(2k+1)=(2k+1)!2kk!
So an=(n!)2(2k−2)!2k−2(4k−3)!
Doing the ratio test should give the same result as above.
