I have to show that
$$g\left(\frac{1}{2015}\right) + g\left(\frac{2}{2015}\right) +\cdots + g\left(\frac{2014}{2015}\right) $$ is an integer. Here $g(t)=\dfrac{3^t}{3^t+3^{1/2}}$.
I tried to solve it using power series, but I can not finish with any convincing argument to said that the sum is an integer. (Also the use of a computer isn't allowed.)
Want $\sum_{k=1}^{n-1} g\left(\frac{k}{n}\right) $ where $n$ is odd and $g(t)=\dfrac{3^t}{3^t+3^{1/2}} $.
$g(k/n) =\dfrac{3^{k/n}}{3^{k/n}+3^{1/2}} $.
$\begin{array}\\ g(k/n)+g((n-k)/n) &=\dfrac{3^{k/n}}{3^{k/n}+3^{1/2}}+\dfrac{3^{(n-k)/n}}{3^{(n-k)/n}+3^{1/2}}\\ &=\dfrac{3^{k/n}(3^{(n-k)/n}+3^{1/2})+3^{(n-k)/n}(3^{k/n}+3^{1/2})}{(3^{k/n}+3^{1/2})(3^{(n-k)/n}+3^{1/2})}\\ &=\dfrac{(3+3^{(k/n)+(1/2)})+(3+3^{(n-k)/n+(1/2)})}{3+3^{1/2}(3^{k/n}+3^{(n-k)/n})+3}\\ &=\dfrac{6+3^{1/2}(3^{k/n}+3^{(n-k)/n})}{6+3^{1/2}(3^{k/n}+3^{(n-k)/n})}\\ &= 1\\ \end{array} $
Wow! This was completely unexpected.
Since the sum of paired terms is one, if $n$ is odd, and there are $\frac{n-1}{2}$ pairs the sum is $\frac{n-1}{2}$.
It looks like any number can be substituted for $3$ and this will work.
