Vedclass · Answer

(A) The given series is $S = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(n + a)(n + 1 + a)}$.Using the method of partial fractions,the $n^{th}$ term $T_n$ can be written as:$T_n = \frac{1}{(n + a)(n + 1 + a)} = \frac{1}{n + a} - \frac{1}{n + 1 + a}$.Now,we write the sum of the first $n$ terms $S_n$:$S_n = T_1 + T_2 + T_3 + \dots + T_n$$S_n = \left( \frac{1}{1 + a} - \frac{1}{2 + a} ight) + \left( \frac{1}{2 + a} - \frac{1}{3 + a} ight) + \left( \frac{1}{3 + a} - \frac{1}{4 + a} ight) + \dots + \left( \frac{1}{n + a} - \frac{1}{n + 1 + a} ight)$.This is a telescoping series where intermediate terms cancel out:$S_n = \frac{1}{1 + a} - \frac{1}{n + 1 + a}$.To find the sum to infinity,we take the limit as $n 	o \infty$:$S_{\infty} = \lim_{n 	o \infty} \left( \frac{1}{1 + a} - \frac{1}{n + 1 + a} ight) = \frac{1}{1 + a} - 0 = \frac{1}{1 + a}$.

The value of $\frac{1}{(1 + a)(2 + a)} + \frac{1}{(2 + a)(3 + a)} + \frac{1}{(3 + a)(4 + a)} + \dots + \infty$ is,(where $a$ is a constant).
