Question :
Let the real number $x≥1$ :
$x_{1}=x$ and $x_{n+1}=x_{n}(1+x_{n})$ for
$n=1,2,3...$
Then find the sum :
$S=\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n}\frac{1}{1+x_{k}}$
My try :
Note that : $\frac{1}{1+x_{1}}=\frac{1}{x_{1}}-\frac{1}{x_{2}}$
Also : $\frac{1}{1+x_{k}}=\frac{1}{x_{k}}-\frac{1}{x_{k+1}}$
So if we take sum rights-left we get :
$S=\frac{1}{x_{1}}-\frac{1}{x_{k+1}}$
I need see other method ?
And it's possible to find the term of $x_{n}$ ?
