Prove that the sum of the infinite series 1.32+3.522+5.723+7.924+...... is 23.
My approach
I got the following term
Sn=∑∞14n22n−∑∞112n.
For ∑∞112n the answer is 1 as it forms a geometric series but I am bot able to find the solution to ∑∞14n22n.
Answer
1.32+3.522+5.723+7.924+…=∞∑n=1(2n−1)(2n+1)2n=∞∑n=1(4n2−1)2n
depending on the geometric series
11−x=∞∑n=0xn
(11−x)′=∞∑n=1nxn−1
x(11−x)′=∞∑n=1nxn
(x(11−x)′)′=∞∑n=1n2xn−1
x(x(11−x)′)′=∞∑n=1n2xn
4x(x(11−x)′)′=∞∑n=14n2xn
4x(x(11−x)′)′−11−x=∞∑n=14n2xn−∞∑n=0xn
4x(x(11−x)′)′−11−x+1=∞∑n=14n2xn−∞∑n=1xn
so
∞∑n=1xn(4n2−1)=4x2+4x(1−x)3−x1−x
now let x=1/2 to get 23
