Proof Question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If \[ T_{n} = \frac{ n-1 }{ n }\], prove \[T_{n+1} - T _{n-1} = \frac{ 2 }{ n^2 -1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is nice exercise for the hands

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ T_{n+1} = \frac{n}{n+1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So \[ T_{n+1} - T_{n-1} = \frac{ n }{ n+1 } - \frac{n-1}{n} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry \[ T_{n+1} - T_{n-1} = \frac{ n }{ n+1 } - \frac{n-2}{n-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just bring to the common denominator by multiplying the denominators and recall that \[ (n+1)(n-1) = ...^2 - 1^2 \]

it seems like i cant go any further
