How do you do this question?

a) -7/9

b) 16 / (n² + 15n + 56)

c) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When n = 1, there is only one term in the series, so a₁ = s₁.

a₁ = (1 − 8) / (1 + 8)

a₁ = -7/9

The sum of the first n terms is equal to the sum of the first n−1 terms plus the nth term.

sₙ = sₙ₋₁ + aₙ

(n − 8) / (n + 8) = (n − 1 − 8) / (n − 1 + 8) + aₙ

(n − 8) / (n + 8) = (n − 9) / (n + 7) + aₙ

aₙ = (n − 8) / (n + 8) − (n − 9) / (n + 7)

If you wish, you can simplify by finding the common denominator.

aₙ = [(n − 8) (n + 7) − (n − 9) (n + 8)] / [(n + 8) (n + 7)]

aₙ = [n² − n − 56 − (n² − n − 72)] / (n² + 15n + 56)

aₙ = 16 / (n² + 15n + 56)

The infinite sum is:

∑₁°° aₙ = lim(n→∞) sₙ

∑₁°° aₙ = lim(n→∞) (n − 8) / (n + 8)

∑₁°° aₙ = 1
