Question Number 45316 by Tawa1 last updated on 11/Oct/18

I heard this sum can be close using the Digamma function.  Please help me use it. i don′t know it.        sum of nth term:   (1/(1.2.3)) + (1/(4.5.6)) + (1/(7.8.9)) + ...

T_n =(1/({1+(n−1)3}{2+(n−1)3}{3+(n−1)3}))  T_n =(1/((3n−2)((3n−1)(3n)))  here i am using some formula mentioned  Hall and knight Algebra...  S_n =C−(1/((3n−1)(3n)×2×1))  n=1  (1/(1×2×3))=C−(1/(2×3×2))  C=(1/6)+(1/(12))=((2+1)/(12))=(1/4)  S_n =(1/4)−(1/(2(3n−1)(3n)))  recheck...  S_1 =(1/4)−(1/(2×2×3))=((3−1)/(12))=(1/6)=T_1 =(1/(1×2×3))=(1/6)  conform  S_2 =(1/4)−(1/(2×5×6))=((15−1)/(60))=((14)/(60))=(7/(30))  T_2 =S_2 −S_1 =(7/(30))−(1/6)=((7−5)/(30))=(1/(15))  but T_2 =(1/(120))  So my answer is not correct...  pls menhion the source of this problem  S_n =(1/(1×2×3))+(1/(4×5×6))+(1/(7×8×9))+...  =

The question was asked online.    But sir, when can i apply the formular you used to find the sum.
