We'll try to express each term of the sum as a difference
of 2 elemetary fractions.
f(x) =
(2x+1)/x^2*(x+1)^2
(2x+1)/x^2*(x+1)^2 = A/x + B/x^2 +
C/(x+1) + D/(x+1)^2
We'll multiply each term from the right
side by LCD = x^2*(x+1)^2 and we'll get:
2x + 1 = Ax(x+1)^2
+ B(x+1)^2 + Cx^2(x+1) + Dx^2
2x + 1 = Ax^3 + 2Ax^2 + Ax +
Bx^2 + 2Bx + B + Cx^3 + Cx^2 + Dx^2
2x + 1 = x^3(A + C) +
x^2(2A + B + C + D) + x(A + 2B) + B
Comparing both sides,
we'll get:
A + C = 0
2A + B +
C + D = 0
A + 2B = 2
B = 1
=> A + 2 = 2 => A=C=0
D =
-1
(2x+1)/x^2*(x+1)^2 = 1/x^2 -
1/(x+1)^2
f(x) = 1/x^2 -
1/(x+1)^2
For x = 1 => f(1) = 1/1^2 - 1/(1+1)^2 = 1
- 1/2^2
For x = 2 => f(2) = 1/2^2 -
1/(3)^2
..........................................................
For
x = n => f(n) = 1/n^2 - 1/(n+1)^2
f(1) + f(2) + ...
+ f(n) = 1 - 1/2^2 + 1/2^2 - 1/3^2 + ... + 1/n^2 -
1/(n+1)^2
We'll eliminate like
terms:
f(1) + f(2) + ... + f(n) = 1 -
1/(n+1)^2
We'll raise to n^2 both
sides:
[f(1) + f(2) + ... + f(n)]^(n^2) = [1 -
1/(n+1)^2]^(n^2)
We'll evaluate the
limit:
lim [f(1) + f(2) + ... + f(n)]^(n^2) = lim [1 +
1/-(n+1)^2]^(n^2)
We'll create remarcable limit
"e":
lim [1 + 1/-(n+1)^2]^(n^2) = e^lim
-n^2/(n+1)^2
lim -n^2/(n+1)^2 = lim -n^2/(n^2 + 2n +
1)
lim -n^2/(n^2 + 2n + 1) =
1
lim [f(1) + f(2) + ... + f(n)]^(n^2) =
e^-1
lim [f(1) + f(2) + ... + f(n)]^(n^2) =
1/e
The result of the limit of the given sum,
if n approaches to infinite, is: lim [f(1) + f(2) + ... + f(n)]^(n^2) =
1/e.
