Find the sum of the first 100 terms for the sequence sigma_{n = 1}^{infinity} 2 / n^2 + 4n + 3...
Question:
Find the sum of the first 100 terms for the sequence
{eq}\displaystyle \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}\ \dfrac {2}{n^2 + 4n + 3} {/eq} and then find the sum {eq}s {/eq}.
Sum of Series:
The series sum is evaluated by finding the limit of a given series. For the geometric type series, the sum is evaluated by a formula where first term is divided by one minus the common ratio. If it is not then using the well-known series expansion can help or using the technique of brute force.

Chapter 12 / Lesson 4An infinite series is the sum of terms in an infinitely long sequence, but taking the sum of terms in a finite portion of the sequence is called a partial sum. Explore these two concepts through examples of five types of series: arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, alternating harmonic, and telescopic.
