sum from n=1 to infinity of 3/(n^2+3n+2)

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{3}{n ^{2} + 3 n + 2}

\frac{3}{2}

Decimal

1.5

Solution steps

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{3}{n ^{2} + 3 n + 2}

Apply the constant multiplication rule:

\sum c \cdot a_{n} = c \cdot \sum a_{n}

= 3 \cdot n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{1}{n ^{2} + 3 n + 2}

Apply Telescoping Series Test:

\frac{1}{2}

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} : \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{3}{2}
