sum from n=2 to infinity of 8/(n^2-1)

n = 2 \sum \infty \frac{8}{n ^{2} - 1}

6

Solution steps

n = 2 \sum \infty \frac{8}{n ^{2} - 1}

Apply the constant multiplication rule:

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

= 8 \cdot n = 2 \sum \infty \frac{1}{n ^{2} - 1}

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{n ^{2} - 1} : - \frac{1}{2 ( n + 1 )} + \frac{1}{2 ( n - 1 )}

= 8 \cdot n = 2 \sum \infty - \frac{1}{2 ( n + 1 )} + \frac{1}{2 ( n - 1 )}

Expand telescoping series:

\frac{3}{4}

Simplify

8 \cdot \frac{3}{4} : 6

= 6

\frac{1}{x ^{2}} - x, x = 2, x = 3

\frac{\partial}{\partial u} (cos (u))

5 e^{5 x}

\int_{0}^{1} x (x^{2} + 2)^{2} d x

\int e^{0.25 x} d x
