Homework Statement
The problem asks me to express the sum of the series as a telescoping sum, then find whether it is convergent or divergent. Ok, I get that and how it works and all, but the examples they give in the book are stupid and i on spring break this week so no office hours for professors.
Homework Equations
Here it is:
2/(n^2 + 4n + 3)
I know, easy, but I don't get how to do it...the easy ones stump me.
The Attempt at a Solution
I rewrote it like this:
(1/2)(2/n+3) - 2/n+1)
But the terms do not cancel when I do this. Plus it is an even question so I do not know the solution.
