The sum of series $\frac{1}{2 !}+\frac{1}{4 !}+\frac{1}{6 !}+\ldots$ is

The sum of series $\frac{1}{2 !}+\frac{1}{4 !}+\frac{1}{6 !}+\ldots$ is
  1. $\frac{\left(\mathrm{e}^2-1\right)}{2}$
  2. $\frac{(e-1)^2}{2 e}$
  3. $\frac{\left(\mathrm{e}^2-1\right)}{2 \mathrm{e}}$
  4. $\frac{\left(e^2-2\right)}{e}$

Solution

$\frac{\mathrm{e}^\alpha+\mathrm{e}^{-\alpha}}{2}=1+\frac{\alpha^2}{2 !}+\frac{\alpha^4}{4 !}+\frac{\alpha^6}{6 !}+\ldots \ldots$ $\frac{\mathrm{e}^\alpha+\mathrm{e}^{-\alpha}}{2}-1=\frac{\alpha^2}{2 !}+\frac{\alpha^4}{4 !}+\frac{\alpha^6}{6 !}+\ldots \ldots$ put $\alpha=1$, we get $\frac{(\mathrm{e}-1)^2}{2 \mathrm{e}}=\frac{1}{2 !}+\frac{1}{4 !}+\frac{1}{6 !}+\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots$
