Calculating an infinite sum: $sumlimits_{n=1}^{infty} 2frac{3^{n-1}n(n-1)}{(n+2)(n+1)!}$

$begingroup$


I need to calculate the following formula



$$sum_{n=1}^{infty} 2frac{3^{n-1}n(n-1)}{(n+2)(n+1)!}$$



I know that this sum should be finite, but I don't know how to calculate it. I've done some simplifications and reductions but it get me nowhere. Please help me to calculate it.

          You may proceed as follows:




          • $e^x = sum_{n=0}^{infty}frac{x^n}{n!} Rightarrow e^x -(1+x+frac{x^2}{2}) = sum_{color{blue}{n=3}}^{infty} frac{x^n}{n!} = sum_{color{blue}{n=1}}^{infty} frac{x^{n+2}}{(n+2)!}$

          • $Rightarrow f(x) = frac{e^x -(1+x+frac{x^2}{2})}{x^2} = sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{x^{n}}{(n+2)!}$


          • $Rightarrow 2xf''(x) = boxed{2sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{x^{n-1}n(n-1)}{(n+2)!}}$. This is your sum for $x=3$.

          • $Rightarrow 2xf''(x) = 2x frac{e^x(x^2-4x+6)-2(x+3)}{x^4}= 2frac{e^x(x^2-4x+6)-2(x+3)}{x^3}$

          • $x= 3 Rightarrow boxed{2sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{3^{n-1}n(n-1)}{(n+2)!} =frac{2}{9}(e^3-4)}$

          Write $n(n-1)=(n+2)(n+1)+A(n+2)+B$



          $A=?,B=?$
