f ( n ) = 1 ∑ ∞ n ∗ ( n + 1 ) ∗ ( n + 2 ) n + 3 = 1 ∑ ∞ ( n ∗ ( n + 1 ) ∗ ( n + 2 ) 2 ( n + 2 ) − ( n + 1 ) f ( n ) = 1 ∑ ∞ n ∗ ( n + 1 ) 2 − 1 ∑ ∞ ( n ∗ ( n + 2 ) 1 . n ∗ ( n + 1 ) 2 = n A + n + 1 B a n d n ∗ ( n + 2 ) 1 = n C + n + 2 D . Solving for A, B, C, D, and combining A and C f ( n ) = 2 3 ∗ 1 ∑ ∞ n 1 + 2 1 ∗ 1 ∑ ∞ n + 2 1 − 2 ∗ 1 ∑ ∞ n + 1 1 We could obtain partial fractions directly by solving 3 equations in three unknowns. But here we have split into two sets of 2 equations in 2 unknowns, I felt that is easy. A l s o r e f r e s h : − n = a ∑ b f ( n ) = n = a − c ∑ b − c f ( n + c ) , o u r b = ∞ . ∴ f ( n ) = 2 3 ∗ n = 1 ∑ ∞ n 1 + 2 1 ∗ n = 3 ∑ ∞ n 1 − 2 ∗ n = 2 ∑ ∞ n 1 ∴ 2 3 ∗ n = 1 ∑ 2 n 1 + 2 3 ∗ n = 3 ∑ ∞ n 1 + 2 1 ∗ n = 3 ∑ ∞ n 1 − 2 ∗ n = 2 ∑ 2 n 1 − 2 ∗ n = 3 ∑ ∞ n 1 In telescoping series f(n) the only terms those does not cancel out are 2 3 ∗ n = 1 ∑ 2 n 1 − 2 ∗ n = 2 ∑ 2 n 1 = 2 3 ∗ ( 1 1 + 2 1 ) − 2 ∗ 2 1 = 4 5 = 1 . 2 5
