summation series

plz solve this one :
[1]

q2
try this one also its not my doubt but wanted to share
if
log(\frac{1}{1+x+x^2 +x^3 })
is expanded on the ascendind powers of x then prove that
coefficient of
xn in the expansion is

\frac{-1}{n}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ if\ n \ is \ odd\ or \ of \ form\ 4m+2 \\ \\ and \\ \\ \frac{3}{n}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ if \ n \ is \ of \ form%20%5C%204m

Q2.

log(11+x+x2+x3) = log(1(1+x2)(1+x))
= -(log(1+x) + log(1+x2)

= -(x-x2/2+x3/3-... + x2-x4/2+x6/3-...)

So coeff of xn (if odd) is -1/n

Now if of the form 4m, then -(-1/4m - 1/2m) = 3/4m = 3/n

If of the form 4m+2 then -(-1/(4m+2) + 1/(2m+1)) = -1/(4m+2) = -1/n

The given sum
S=1+\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1\cdot 3}{3\cdot6}+\dfrac{1\cdot 3\cdot 5}{3\cdot6\cdot 9}+\ldots
=1+\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1\cdot 3}{3^2\cdot2!}+\dfrac{1\cdot 3\cdot 5}{3^3\cdot 3!}+\ldots
=1-\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{-2}{3}\right)+\dfrac{\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{-1}{2}-1\right)}{2!}\left(\dfrac{-2}{3}\right)^2+ \dfrac{\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{-1}{2}-1\right)\left(\frac{-1}{2}-2\right)}{3!}\left(\dfrac{-2}{3}\right)^3+\ldots
=\left(1-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^{-1/2}
=\sqrt{3}

upto 2nd step its OK...
but sir plz tell me what was inspiration for 3rd step ??

I guess the -ve binomial series expansion.

that is obvious....but how did that idea strike ???


and plz not the same answer this time too..PRACTICE [3]
