Summation of series with factorial

enter image description here

I tried breaking the terms into differences or finding a generalised term but did not get it right. Can someone please help me to proceed with this?

Answer

Assuming the first term is $1$ (and not $2$ as written), the general term of the series is, for $n\geq 1$,
$$a_n \stackrel{\rm def}{=} \frac{\prod_{k=2}^{n}(2k+1)}{n!3^{n-1}} = \frac{\prod_{k=1}^{n}(2k+1)}{n!3^{n}} = \frac{(2n+1)!}{n!3^{n}\prod_{k=1}^n(2k)} = \frac{(2n+1)!}{n!3^{n}2^nn!} = \frac{(2n+1)!}{(n!)^26^{n}}$$

or, equivalently, $a_n= \binom{2n}{n}\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^n$.

Now, either you work towards finding the general form for $$f(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty (2n+1) \binom{2n}{n}x^n$$
(a power series with radius of convergence $1/4$), which you can find by relating it to both
$g(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty n\binom{2n}{n}x^{n-1}$
(recognize a derivative) and $h(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \binom{2n}{n}x^{n}$, since $$f(x) = 2xg(x)+h(x)\,;$$

or, by other means (there may be?) you establish that
$f(1/6) = 3\sqrt{3}$, leading to
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n = 3\sqrt{3}.$$
