Question

Prove the following by using the principle of mathematical induction for all n ∈ N

`1/3.5 + 1/5.7 + 1/7.9 + ...+ 1/((2n + 1)(2n +3)) = n/(3(2n +3))`

Solution

Let the given statement be P(n), i.e.,

Thus, P(k + 1) is true whenever P(k) is true.

Hence, by the principle of mathematical induction, statement P(n) is true for all natural numbers i.e., n.
