Let Sn=1·(n-1)+2·(n-2)+3·(n-3)+…+(n-1)·1, n⩾4.
The sum ∑n=4∞2 Snn!-1(n-2)! is equal to :
Let Sn=1·(n-1)+2·(n-2)+3·(n-3)+…+(n-1)·1, n⩾4.General form of Sn=∑r=1n-1r(n-r)=nn2-16
2 Snn!=2nn+1n-16nn-1n-2!=(n+1)3(n-2)!
⇒∑n=4∞2Snn!-1(n-2)!⇒∑n=4∞(n+1)3(n-2)!-1(n-2)!
=∑n=4∞(n-2)3(n-2)!
=13∑n=4∞1(n-3)!
=1311!+12!+13!+…..=e-13
