Vedclass · Answer

(B) Let $S = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n(2n+1)}$.Using partial fractions,$\frac{1}{n(2n+1)} = \frac{1}{n} - \frac{2}{2n+1}$.Thus,$S = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left( \frac{1}{n} - \frac{2}{2n+1} \right) = \left( 1 - \frac{2}{3} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{5} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{3} - \frac{2}{7} \right) + \dots$$S = 1 + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{2}{7} + \dots$$S = 1 + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{5} + \dots$Recall the expansion $\log_e(1+x) = x - \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^4}{4} + \dots$. For $x=1$,$\log_e 2 = 1 - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} + \dots$.Therefore,$S = 1 - (\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} - \dots) = 1 - (1 - \log_e 2) = 2 - \log_e 2$.
