Find $\lim_{n\to \infty} \big[\frac{1}{1\cdot3}+\frac{1}{2\cdot5}+...+\frac{1}{n\cdot(2n+1)}\big]$

Find $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to \infty} \bigg[\frac{1}{1\cdot3}+\frac{1}{2\cdot5}+...+\frac{1}{n\cdot(2n+1)}\bigg]$ .

This is a similar question as I've asked an hour ago . Find $\lim_{n\to \infty} (1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}-...-\frac{1}{2n})$

But here, I am not able to rearrange terms to use the fact that $\gamma_{n}=\sum_{n=1}^n \frac{1}{n} -\log(n)$ .

Any ideas ? Or Is there any other way to find limit?

Use that $\frac1{n(2n+1)}=2\left[\frac1{2n}-\frac1{2n+1}\right]$ to reduce the problem to that of finding $1-\frac12+\frac13-\frac14+\dots$ This is a classical series, that adds up to $\ln 2$. (You can see this by considering the power series expansion of $\ln(1+x)$ and evaluating at $x=1$ using Abel's theorem. There are other ways.) I'll leave to you the easy algebra that gives the value you need from this series.

Finally, As Martin Sleziak sir stated in chat and Andrés E. Caicedo hinted in his answer ,

$T_n=\frac1{n(2n+1)}=2\left[\frac1{2n}-\frac1{2n+1}\right]$ .

We can relate the limit of this sequence $\langle x_n\rangle$ with the partial sum of $n$ terms of the series $\sum_{n = 1}^\infty 2\left[\frac1{2n}-\frac1{2n+1}\right]$ . And as $n\to \infty$ , the series sums to [$2-\ln(4)$] , which is equal to our limit.
