I am given sn=n−1n+1 find an and ∑∞n=1an
I use an=sn−sn−1 and got limn−>∞2n(n+1)
Then the theorem says
∞∑n=1an=limn−>∞sn
and the answer is 1 as n approaches infinity.
I also know that if I change an into a telescope sum and solve it.
lim
it becomes \lim_{n->\infty}2-\frac{2}{n+1}
the answer is 2 as n approach infinity.
now, I don't understand why the two are not identical. did I make theoretical error with my reasoning?
