    Proving the Summation Formula for 1/(n(n+1)) Using Mathematical Induction

    Thank you. Proved both sides = (k+1)/(k+2). Hence, true for n = k +1 and since both basis and inductive steps true, true for all n >= 1. :smile:

    Proving the Summation Formula for 1/(n(n+1)) Using Mathematical Induction

    Need help with proof by mathematical induction that (1/(1*2)) + (1/(2*3)) + ... + (1/(n(n+1)) = (n/(n+ 1)) for all integers n >= 1. Basis step: for n = 1: (1/(1*2)) = 1/2 and (1/(1+1) = 1/2, hence property is true for n = 1. Inductive step: want to show that for alll integers k >= 1...
