Question Number 9517 by Joel575 last updated on 12/Dec/16
f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + ... + f(n) = n^2 . f(n) n > 1; f(1) = 2016 So, f(2016) = ?
$${f}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:+\:{f}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:+\:{f}\left(\mathrm{3}\right)\:+\:…\:+\:{f}\left({n}\right)\:=\:{n}^{\mathrm{2}} .\:{f}\left({n}\right) \\ $$$${n}\:>\:\mathrm{1};\:{f}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{2016} \\ $$$$\mathrm{So},\:{f}\left(\mathrm{2016}\right)\:=\:? \\ $$

(i) :f(1)+f(2)+...+f(n−1)+f(n)=n^2 f(n) (ii):f(1)+f(2)+...+f(n−1) =(n−1)^2 f(n−1) (i)−(ii)⇒ f(n)=n^2 f(n)−(n−1)^2 f(n−1) ⇔(n^2 −1)f(n)=(n−1)^2 f(n−1) ,(n≠1) ⇔(n+1)f(n)=(n−1)f(n−1) ,(n≠0) ⇔n(n+1)f(n)=(n−1)nf(n−1) g(n)=n(n+1)f(n) ⇒g(n)=g(n−1) ⇒g(n)=g(n−1)=g(n−2)....=g(1)=1×2×2016 ⇒f(n)=((2×2016)/(n(n+1))) f(2016)=((2×2016)/(2016×2017))=(2/(2017))

in (ii) why u wrote (n−1)^2 f(n+1)? is it a typo?
$$\mathrm{in}\:\left({ii}\right)\:\mathrm{why}\:\mathrm{u}\:\mathrm{wrote}\:\left({n}−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \:{f}\left({n}+\mathrm{1}\right)?\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{typo}? \\ $$
