I don't know how to rid myself of that last n! I've got kicking around in the numerator.

Any ideas?

Check your a_n+1 term. The [(n+1)!] should be squared.

Doh!

Thank you!

Just to make sure I finished the question off right, we should find that R = -1, correct?

Then the open interval of convergence is,

|x-7| < -1

or 1 < x-7 < -1 or 8 < x < 6
