Approach Solution -2

\(\overset{21}{\underset{n=1}\sum} \frac3{(4n-1)(4n+3)} = \frac3{4}\overset{21}{\underset{n=1}\sum} \frac1{(4n-1)}-\frac1{(4n+3)}\)

=43​n=1∑21​(4n−1)(4n+3)(4n+3)−(4n−1)​ 


=43​n=1∑21​4n−11​−4n+31​ 
=43​(31​−71​+71​−111​+111​−….+831​−871​) 
=43​(31​−871​)=297​

Series

A collection of numbers that is presented as the sum of the numbers in a stated order is called a series. As an outcome, every two numbers in a series are separated by the addition (+) sign. The order of the elements in the series really doesn't matters. If a series demonstrates a finite sequence, it is said to be finite, and if it demonstrates an endless sequence, it is said to be infinite.
