find the infinite sum of the series

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\huge \bf\dfrac{1}{1}+\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{15}+............ \)

\[=\sum_{i=1}^\infty\dfrac{1}{\sum_{k=1}^i k}\\~\\=\sum_{i=1}^\infty\dfrac{2}{i(i+1)}\\~\\=2\sum_{i=1}^\infty\dfrac{1}{i(i+1)}\] That's how far I can go... :( Hope this helps?

Wait, I got it... give me min....

Take a look here: http://www.mathcentre.ac.uk/resources/uploaded/mc-ty-convergence-2009-1.pdf Check page 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ i \left( i+1 \right) }=\frac{ 1 }{ i \left( 0+1 \right) }+\frac{ 1 }{ -1\left( i+1 \right) }=\frac{ 1 }{ i }-\frac{ 1 }{ i+1 }\] \[put ~i=1,2,3,..., \infty ~and~add~vertically~downwards\] 1/1-1/2 1/2-1/3 1/3-1/4 .............0 =1 total sum=2*1=2
