Question

Compute the partial sums $ S_{3}, S_{4} $, and $ S_{5} $ for the series and then find its sum. \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}\right) \] (Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.)

          Compute the partial sums \( S_{3}, S_{4} \), and \( S_{5} \) for the series and then find its sum.
\[
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{1}{n+1}-\frac{1}{n+2}\right)
\]
