Using the principle of mathematical induction, prove that
`1+1/(1+2)+(1)/(1+2+3) + "….."+(1)/(1+2+3+"…."+n ) = (2n)/(n+1)` for all `n in N`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `P(n):1+1/(1+2)​+1/(1+2+3)​+.....+1/(1+2+3+....n)=(2n)​/(n+1) `
For n=1, we have
P(1):1, which is true.
Let P(k) be true for some positive integer k i.e,
`1+1/(1+2)​+1/(1+2+3)​+.....+1/(1+2+3+....k)=2k​/ (k+1)`..........(i)
