SUMMARY

The compound sum formula presented is correctly represented in product notation. The formula is given as \(\frac{(m + n)!(a(n + 1) + cm)}{m!(n + 1)!}\) and is equivalent to \((a(n + 1) + cm) \prod_{j=1}^n \frac{m + j}{j + 1}\). This conclusion was confirmed by user AKG, validating the transformation from the original formula to its product notation form.

I came up with this compound sum formula

[tex] \frac{(m + n)!(a(n + 1) + cm)}{m!(n + 1)!}[/tex]

and am attempting to represent it in product notation. Is the form below correct?

[tex] \frac{(m + n)!(a(n + 1) + cm)}{m!(n + 1)!} = (a(n + 1) + cm) \prod_{j=1}^n \frac{m + j}{j + 1}[/tex]

Thanks
