Given a positive integer x, we are asked to evaluate the following triple summation:

The symbol is the combination function, nchoosek in Matlab. Therefore, we can write the function in Matlab as follows:

>> S = @(x) sum(arrayfun(@(y) sum(arrayfun(@(n) sum(arrayfun(@(k) ((-4)^k*nchoosek(n,k)/nchoosek(2*k,k)),0:n)),0:y)),0:x));

Hence, for , we have:

>> S(5)

>> ans =

-1.3302

Please round-off the output to the nearest 4 decimal places.
