    Inequality
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the validity of the inequality 0 ≤ ∑(k=0 to n) (1/((k+1)²(n-k+1))) ≤ 1/√(n+1) for all natural numbers n. Participants are seeking clarification on whether this inequality holds true. Additionally, there is a request for a different representation of the term 1/((k+1)²(n-k+1)), specifically in the form of a rational expression involving k and constants. The conversation highlights the mathematical exploration of inequalities and the manipulation of algebraic expressions. The inquiry reflects a deeper interest in understanding mathematical relationships and proofs.

Is this inequality true ??

0\leq \sum_{k=0}^{n} \frac{1}{(k+1)^2 (n-k+1)} \leq \frac{1}{\sqrt{n+1}} for all natural numbers n

Is it true ??

Thanks

Can you write \frac{1}{(k+1)^2(n-k+1)} differently? You want something on the form \frac{a}{k+1} + \frac{bk+c}{(k+1)^2} + \frac{d}{n-k+1} .
 


It really work thanks .

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
