Sequence with plenty of binomial coefficients.
Moldova National MO 2008, 12 Grade, Problem 4

Define the sequence (a_p)_{p\ge0} as follows: a_p=\displaystyle\frac{\binom p0}{2\cdot 4}-\frac{\binom p1}{3\cdot5}+\frac{\binom p2}{4\cdot6}-\ldots+(-1)^p\cdot\frac{\bino....
Find \lim_{n\to\infty}(a_0+a_1+\ldots+a_n).

Using f(x) = \sum_{0}^{p}\frac {C_{p}^{k} x^{k + 4}}{(k + 2)(k + 4)} then a_p = f( - 1)
I found a_p = \frac {p^2 + 7p + 6}{2(p + 1)(p + 2)(p + 3)(p + 4)} = \frac {1}{p + 2} - \frac {3}{2}\frac {1}{p + 3} +\frac{1}{2}\frac...
\sum_{n = 0}^{ + \infty}a_n = \frac {1}{3}
Please check it Razz
