Consider Y = r → ∞ lim n = 1 ∑ r [ n sin ( n 1 ) − ( n + 2 ) sin ( n + 2 1 ) ]
The series is obviously a telescopic one which decomposes to: sin ( 1 ) + 2 sin ( 2 1 ) − r → ∞ lim ( ( r + 1 ) sin ( r + 1 1 ) ) − r → ∞ lim ( ( r + 2 ) sin ( r + 2 1 ) )
For limit calculation, use x → 0 lim x sin x = 1 , so that sum converges to:
Y = sin ( 1 ) + 2 sin ( 2 1 ) − 2
