1 / 1.2.3 + 1 / 2.3.4 + 1 / 3.4.5 + …….. + 1 / n (n+1) (n+2) = n (n+3) / 4 (n+1) (n+2) ? using principle of mathematical induction prove the following for all n E N ?

Let the given statement be P( n ), i.e.,

P(n): 

For n = 1, we have

, which is true.

Let P(k) be true for some positive integer k, i.e.,

We shall now prove that P(k + 1) is true.

Consider

Thus, P(k + 1) is true whenever P(k) is true.

Hence, by the principle of mathematical induction, statement P(n) is true for all natural numbers i.e., n.
