Math Problem Statement
no 5
Solution
The fifth series provided is:
This series can be solved using partial fraction decomposition, just like we did before. Let's go through the process again to find its nth partial sum and the sum of the series.
Step 1: General term of the series.
The general term of the series is:
Step 2: Partial fraction decomposition.
We can decompose this term as:
Multiplying both sides by to clear the denominators:
Expanding both sides:
Equating the coefficients of and the constant term:
From , we get . Substituting this into the second equation:
Thus, (B = -1
