Proof that $ sum_{n=2}^{infty} frac{2}{3^n cdot (n^3-n)} = -frac{1}{2} + frac{4}{3}sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n cdot 3^n}$



About



Hi, I have been trying to solve this task since yesterday. I have idea that I can evaluate both sides and show that they are the same. I supposed $ sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n cdot 3^n} $ there is formula for that.
So I want to evaluate in the same way left side. So I compute that



$$ sum_{n=2}^{infty} frac{2}{3^n cdot (n^3-n)} = sum_{n=2}^{infty} frac{1}{3^n cdot n (n-1)} - frac{1}{3^n cdot n (n+1)} $$
I am trying to transform it to use that formula:
$$ sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{ncdot p^n} = lnfrac{p}{p-1} $$
but I still defeat.
So please tell me, there are better ways to proof that or should I consider to change my field of study?

          $$frac{1}{n (n+1)} = frac{1}{n} - frac{1}{n+1}$$

          Then try to combine terms when substituting this into the sum.




          There is probably a more elegant way to do the following computations... $$begin{align}sum_{n ge 2} frac{2}{3^n (n-1) n (n+1)} &= frac{1}{3^2} + left(frac{1}{3^3} - frac{2}{3^2}right)frac{1}{2} + sum_{n ge 3} left(frac{1}{3^{n-1}} - frac{2}{3^{n}} + frac{1}{3^{n+1}}right) frac{1}{n} \ &= frac{1}{54} + left(3 - 2 + frac{1}{3}right)sum_{n ge 3} frac{1}{3^n n} \ &= frac{1}{54} + frac{4}{3} sum_{nge 3} frac{1}{3^n n} \ &= frac{1}{54} - frac{4}{3} left(frac{1}{3} + frac{1}{9 cdot 2} right) + frac{4}{3} sum_{nge 1} frac{1}{3^n n} \ &= - frac{1}{2} + frac{4}{3} sum_{nge 1} frac{1}{3^n n}. end{align}$$

            Can you explain how you get this? $ sum_{n ge 3} left(frac{1}{3^{n-1}} - frac{2}{3^{n}} + frac{1}{3^{n+1}}right) frac{1}{n} $?

            $$frac{1}{(n-1) n} = frac{1}{n-1} - frac{1}{n}$$
            $$frac{1}{(n-1)(n+1)} = frac{1/2}{n-1} - frac{1/2}{n+1}$$
            $$frac{1}{(n-1)n(n+1)} = frac{1}{(n-1)n} - frac{1}{(n-1)(n+1)} = frac{1}{n-1} - frac{1}{n} - frac{1/2}{n-1} + frac{1/2}{n+1} = frac{1/2}{n-1} - frac{1}{n} + frac{1/2}{n+1}$$



            $$frac{2}{3^n (n-1) n (n+1)} = frac{1}{3^n (n-1)} - frac{2}{3^n n}
            + frac{1}{3^n (n+1)}$$



            Then try to combine terms when substituting this into the sum.




            There is probably a more elegant way to do the following computations... $$begin{align}sum_{n ge 2} frac{2}{3^n (n-1) n (n+1)} &= frac{1}{3^2} + left(frac{1}{3^3} - frac{2}{3^2}right)frac{1}{2} + sum_{n ge 3} left(frac{1}{3^{n-1}} - frac{2}{3^{n}} + frac{1}{3^{n+1}}right) frac{1}{n} \ &= frac{1}{54} + left(3 - 2 + frac{1}{3}right)sum_{n ge 3} frac{1}{3^n n} \ &= frac{1}{54} + frac{4}{3} sum_{nge 3} frac{1}{3^n n} \ &= frac{1}{54} - frac{4}{3} left(frac{1}{3} + frac{1}{9 cdot 2} right) + frac{4}{3} sum_{nge 1} frac{1}{3^n n} \ &= - frac{1}{2} + frac{4}{3} sum_{nge 1} frac{1}{3^n n}. end{align}$$

              Can you explain how you get this? $ sum_{n ge 3} left(frac{1}{3^{n-1}} - frac{2}{3^{n}} + frac{1}{3^{n+1}}right) frac{1}{n} $? I know that $ frac{2}{3^n (n-1) n (n+1)} = frac{1}{3^n (n-1)} - frac{2}{3^n n} + frac{1}{3^n (n+1)} $ but you also take $1/n$ before and it transformed into factors like that: $ frac{1}{3^{n-1}} $

              @VirtualUser Try writing out the first few terms of the sum $sum_{n ge 2} left(frac{1}{3^n(n-1)} - frac{2}{3^n n} + frac{1}{3^n (n+1)}right)$ explicitly and it should become clear.
