The title of the problem gives it's solution . For any number a , we can write a 2 1 − ( 1 + a ) 2 1 = a 2 × ( a + 1 ) 2 2 a + 1 . Hence the given sum is 1 2 1 − 2 2 1 + 2 2 1 − 3 2 1 + 3 2 1 − 4 2 1 + . . . = 1 .
The desired sum is n = 1 ∑ ∞ n 2 ( n + 1 ) 2 2 n + 1 = n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( n 2 1 − ( n + 1 ) 2 1 ) = n → ∞ lim ( 1 1 − ( n + 1 ) 2 1 ) = 1
Put the two quantities within a bracket to indicate that the sum runs over both of them. The same for the limit.
