We can write k!+(k+1)!+(k+2)!k+2=k![1+(k+1)+(k+1)(k+2)]k+2=k!(k2+4k+4)k+2=k!(k+2)2k+2=k!(k+2)1=k!(k+1)(k+2)k+1=(k+2)!k+1.Seeking a way to get the sum to telescope, we can express the numerator k+1 as (k+2)−1. Then (k+2)!k+1=(k+2)!(k+2)−1=(k+2)!k+2−(k+2)!1=(k+1)!1−(k+2)!1.Therefore, k=1∑∞k!+(k+1)!+(k+2)!k+2=(2!1−3!1)+(3!1−4!1)+(4!1−5!1)+⋯=21.
