We'll write the
denominators:
(k+1)! =
(k-1)!*k*(k+1)
k! =
(k-1)!*k
We'll re-write the identity from
enunciation:
a/(k-1)!*k*(k+1) - b/(k-1)!*k + c/(k-1)! =
(k^2-k-1)/(k-1)!*k*(k+1)
We'll multiply both sides by
(k-1)!*k*(k+1):
a - b(k+1) + c*k(k+1) =
(k^2-k-1)
We'll remove the
brackets:
a - bk - b + ck^2 + ck = k^2 - k -
1
We'll combine like terms from the left
side:
ck^2 + k(c - b) + a - b = k^2 - k -
1
Comparing, we'll
get:
c =
1
c - b = -1
b
= c + 1 => b = 2
a - b
= -1
a = b - 1
a
= 1
The natural numbers a,b,c
are: a = 1, b = 2 and c = 1, so
that:
1/(k+1)!
- 2/k! + 1/(k-1)! =
(k^2-k-1)/(k+1)!
