Use mathematical induction to prove that each statement is true for every positive integer n. $\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3}+\frac{1}{3 \cdot 4}+\frac{1}{4 \cdot 5}+\cdots+\frac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)}=\frac{n}{2 n+4}$

Mathematical Induction
Use mathematical induction to prove each statement. Assume that $n$ is a positive integer. $$\frac{1}{1 \cdot 2}+\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3}+\frac{1}{3 \cdot 4}+\dots+\frac{1}{n(n+1)}=\frac{n}{n+1}$$
