Using the Principle of Mathematical Induction to prove sum(1/(i(i + 1)), i = 1,..., n) = n/(n + 1). I did it for the first time in this video so that maybe it shows you how to figure out problems like this on your own.

how did you get k(K+2) +1 on the numerator on the second I.H.?

I have a question. If we have n>=0, then will the statement be true. Won't the basis condition change, in that case?

What if you start with the top (n) as n+1?

4:25 where do the (k+2) come from? Like how does k become k(k+2)?
