Prove
$$sum_x=0^infty frac1(x+ 1)(x+2) = 1.$$
I couldn't find this problem solved online and I haven't reviewed series in a long time. I thought maybe squeeze theorem could help? A related question asks to prove
$$ sum_x=0^infty fracx(x+ 1)(x+2) = +infty.$$

$$S_infty =sum_x=0^infty frac1(x+ 1)(x+2) $$
$$=sum_x=0^infty frac(x+2)-(x+1)(x+ 1)(x+2) $$
$$=sum_x=0^infty frac1(x+1)- frac1(x+2) $$
Which if you will expand and cancel
$$ S_infty=1- frac12 +frac12-frac13+frac13.... infty$$
$$=1$$
a few terms will see that all the terms get cancelled except 1 are cancelled you are left with 1
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
The last line is wrong, because neither of the two constituent series converges. You are subtracting infinity from infinity.
