The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of the infinite series given by: \[ S = \frac{3}{1^2} + \frac{5}{1^2 + 2^2} + \frac{7}{1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2} + \frac{9}{1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2} + \ldots \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the General Term The general term of the series can be expressed as: \[ T_n = \frac{2n + 1}{1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + \ldots + n^2} \] ### Step 2: Use the Formula for the Sum of Squares The sum of the squares of the first \(n\) natural numbers is given by the formula: \[ 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + \ldots + n^2 = \frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6} \] Substituting this into our general term, we have: \[ T_n = \frac{2n + 1}{\frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6}} = \frac{6(2n + 1)}{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the General Term Notice that \(2n + 1\) cancels out: \[ T_n = \frac{6}{n(n + 1)} \] ### Step 4: Rewrite the General Term We can further simplify \(T_n\) using partial fractions: \[ T_n = 6 \left( \frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{n + 1} \right) \] ### Step 5: Set Up the Infinite Series Now, we can express the sum of the series: \[ S = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} T_n = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 6 \left( \frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{n + 1} \right) \] ### Step 6: Recognize the Telescoping Series The series is telescoping, meaning that most terms will cancel out: \[ S = 6 \left( \left( \frac{1}{1} - \frac{1}{2} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} \right) + \ldots \right) \] ### Step 7: Evaluate the Limit As \(n\) approaches infinity, the last term \(\frac{1}{n + 1}\) approaches 0. Therefore, we are left with: \[ S = 6 \left( 1 - 0 \right) = 6 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the sum of the infinite series is: \[ \boxed{6} \]
