Step 1: Identify the general term of the series. The series is of the form: \[ S = \frac{2}{3!} + \frac{4}{5!} + \frac{6}{7!} + \dots, \] where the general term can be written as: \[ T_r = \frac{2r}{(2r+1)!}. \] This is a series involving terms that are related to the exponential series, particularly the series for \( e^x \).
Step 2: Recognize the sum. This series can be related to an exponential series and converges to a known value. By analyzing the sum and recognizing the pattern, we find that it evaluates to: \[ c^{-1}. \] Thus, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{c^{-1}}. \]
If the domain of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3x + 10 - x^2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x + |x|}} \) is \( (a, b) \), then \( (1 + a)^2 + b^2 \) is equal to:
