Let
denote the rth triangular number. Prove that the sum of the
reciprocals of the first n triangular numbers is approximately
equal to 2 when n is large, that is:
|
|
n å
r=1
|
|
1 Tr
|
= |
1 T1
|
+ |
1 T2
|
+ |
1 T3
|
+ ... + |
1 Tn
|
@ 2 |
|
Hence show that the sum of the reciprocals of the first n
triangular numbers tends to 2 as n tends to infinity.
