Question 2
Question
Express
$\frac{2n+3}{n\left( n+1 \right)}$
in partial fractions and hence use the method of differences to find
${{\sum\limits_{n=1}^{N}{\frac{2n+3}{n\left( n+1 \right)}\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)}}^{n+1}}$
in terms of $N$.
[4]
Deduce the value of
$\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac{2n+3}{n\left( n+1 \right)}{{\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)}^{n+1}}}$
