Determining limit of a sequence

60 Views Asked by At

If $$\lim_{n\to \infty}\left(\frac{1}{1^2} + \frac{1}{2^2} +\cdots+ \frac{1}{n^2} \right)=\frac{\pi^2}{6}$$

If $$\lim_{n\to \infty}\left(\frac{1}{1^3\cdot 2^3} + \frac{1}{3^3\cdot 4^3} +\cdots+ \frac{1}{n^3\cdot(n+1)^3} \right)=S$$

How to determine $S$?

I tried making a general pattern

~ $ \frac{n+1-n}{n^3\cdot(n+1)^3} $ = $ \frac{1}{n^3\cdot(n+1)^2} - \frac{1}{n^2\cdot(n+1)^3} $ this is not giving me any cancellation of terms neither any involvement of above series

HINT: $$\dfrac{1}{n^3(n+1)^3}=6\left(\dfrac{1}{n}-\dfrac{1}{n+1}\right)-3\left(\dfrac{1}{n^2}+\dfrac{1}{(n+1)^2}\right)+\left(\dfrac{1}{n^3}-\dfrac{1}{(n+1)^3}\right).$$ Now, telescope.
