2015 AJC P1 Q8 [Modified]

Prelims

Given that \(\sum\limits_{r=2}^{n}{\frac{2}{(r+3)(r+5)}}=\frac{11}{30}-\frac{2n+9}{\left( n+4 \right)\left( n+5 \right)}\).

  1. Hence find \(\sum\limits_{r=4}^{n+4}{\frac{2}{r(r+2)}}\).
  2. Deduce that \(\sum\limits_{r=4}^{n+4}{\frac{1}{{{(r+1)}^{2}}}}<\frac{9}{40}\).
