algebra precalculus - Find the sum to n terms of the series frac11.2.3+frac32.3.4+frac53.4.5+frac74.5.6+cdots..

Question :




Find the sum to n terms of the series 11.2.3+32.3.4+53.4.5+74.5.6+



What I have done :



nth term of numerator and denominator is 2r1 and r(r+1)(r+2) respectively.



Therefore the nth term of given series is :



2r1r(r+1)(r+2)=Ar+Br+1+Cr+2 .....(1)




By using partial fraction :



and solving for A,B and C we get A = 1/2, B = -1, C =1/2



Putting the values of A,B and C in (1) we get :



12r1r+1+12(r+2)



But by putting r=1,2,3, I am not getting the answer. Please guide how to solve this problem . Thanks.
