$e$ is hidden in Pascal's (binomial) triangle. What is hidden in the trinomial triangle, in the same way?
In Pascal's triangle, denote $S_n=\prod\limits_{k=0}^n\binom{n}{k}$. It can be shown that
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{S_{n-1}S_{n+1}}{{S_n}^2}=e$$
What is the analogous result for the trinomial triangle?

The limit of a Nasty Summation
I'm trying to evaluate the limit as h approachs 0 of the sum from k = 0 to n of:
$\frac{1}{h^n}(-1)^{k+n}\binom{n}{k}\frac{1}{(x+kh)^2-2(x+kh)+17}$
If it helps, it's the limit definition of the nth ...
