SUMMARY

The limit of the series defined by the expression lim [1/(1*2) + 1/(2*3) + 1/(3*4) + ... + 1/(n*(n+1))] as n approaches infinity is conclusively 1. The user derived this result by recognizing that the term 1/(n(n+1)) can be rewritten as 1/n - 1/(n+1), allowing for the application of the limit properties. This manipulation simplifies the evaluation of the series, confirming that the total sum approaches 1 as n increases indefinitely.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of limits in calculus
  • Familiarity with series and sequences
  • Knowledge of algebraic manipulation of fractions
  • Basic concepts of convergence in mathematical analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the concept of convergence in infinite series
  • Learn about the properties of limits in calculus
  • Explore the use of telescoping series for limit evaluation
  • Investigate advanced series techniques, such as the Ratio Test
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in mathematics, particularly those focusing on calculus and series analysis, will benefit from this discussion.

[SOLVED] limit question

i added a file with the question and how i tried to find the legality between the
objects of the series

lim [1/(1*2) + 1/(2*3) + 1/(3*4) + ... + 1/(n*(n+1))]
n>>infinity


i can't find the total sum of all the objects in the series

if i would get the total sum of all the objects
i can get the limit

i could add the first numbers and to make an estimation about the limit
but how i solve it in equetions??

Does this help?

\frac{1}{{n\left( {n + 1} \right)}} = \frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{{n + 1}}
 
i got

lim 1- [1/(n-1)] =1
n>>infinity


thanks

The limit is indeed 1.
