Solution
Tn = `1/("n"("n" + 1))`
`1/("n"("n" + 1)) = "A"/"n" + "B"/("n" +1)`
1 = A(n + 1) + Bn
Put n = 0
1 = A(0 + 1) + B × 0
A = 1
Put n = – 1
1 = A(– 1 + 1) + B(– 1)
1 = 0 – B
⇒ B = – 1
`1/("n"("n" + 1)) = 1/"n" - 1/("n" + 1)`
Tn = `1/"n" - 1/("n" + 1)`
T1 = `1/1- 1/2`
T2 = `1/2 - 1/3`
T3 = `1/3 - 1/4`
........................
........................
Tn = `1/"n" - 1/("n" + 1)`
T1 + T2 + .... + Tn = `(1/1 - 1/2) + (1/2 - 1/3) + (1/3 - 1/4) + .... + (1/"n" - 1/("n" + 1))`
T1 + T2 + .... + Tn = `(1 - 1/("n" + 1))`
`lim_("n" -> oo) ("T"_1 + "T"_2 + .... + "T"_"n") = lim_("n" -> oo) (1 - 1/("n" + 1))`
= `1 - lim_("n" -> oo) 1/("n" + 1)`
= 1 – 0
`lim_("n" -> oo) 1/1.2 + 1/2.3 + 1/3.4 + ... + 1/("n"("n" + 1))` = 1
