Infinite Series and Factorials question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey so there's this question in my textbook: \[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (2n!*x^n)/n!\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking I could simplify it by writing 2n! = 2^n*n!. Is this possible?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because (2n)! = 2*4*6*8..(2n)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I meant to type (2n)! instead of 2n!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are you trying to find?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry - divergence vs convergence test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah use the ratio test. then it doesnt matter if it simplifies

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's wrong! because (2n)!=(2n)*(2n-1)*(2n-2)...3*2*1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k, got it. Thanks folks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're welcome :)
