Answer» `cos^-1((1+sqrt(k(k-1)(k+1)(k+2)))/(k(k+1)))` `=cos^-1((1+sqrt(k(k^2-1)(k+2)))/(k(k+1)))` `=cos^-1(1/(k(k+1))+sqrt(1-1/k^2)sqrt(1-1/(k+1)^2))` `=cos^-1 (1/(k+1)) - cos^-1(1/k)` `:. sum_(k=2)^n cos^-1 (1/(k+1) - 1/k) = cos^-1(1/3) - cos^-1(1/2) +cos^-1(1/4) - cos^-1(1/3)+cos^-1(1/5) - cos^-1(1/4)+...+cos^-1 (1/(n+1)) - cos^-1(1/n)` `=cos^-1 (1/(n+1)) - cos^-1(1/2)` `:. Lim_(n->oo) sum_(k=2)^n cos^-1 (1/(k+1) - 1/k) = Lim_(n->oo) cos^-1 (1/(n+1)) - cos^-1(1/2) ` `=cos^-1(0) - pi/3` `=pi/2-pi/3 = pi/6` `:. Lim_(n->oo) sum_(k=2)^n cos^-1((1+sqrt(k(k-1)(k+1)(k+2)))/(k(k+1))) =pi/6.` |
