+115 1. There exist real numbers A and B so that \(\frac{1}{k(k + 3)} = \frac{A}{k} + \frac{B}{k + 3}.\)
for all real numbers k other than 0 and -3 Enter the ordered pair (A, B).
2. What is \(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac 1{k(k+3)}? \)
3. Compute the sum and enter your answer as a common fraction \(\begin{array}{r r@{}c@{}l} & 1 &.& 11111111\ldots \\ & 0 &.& 11111111\ldots \\ & 0 &.& 01111111\ldots \\ & 0 &.& 00111111\ldots \\ & 0 &.& 00011111\ldots \\ & 0 &.& 00001111\ldots \\ & 0 &.& 00000111\ldots \\ + &&\vdots \\ \hline &&& ~~~? \end{array}\)
4. Find f(k) such that \(\sum_{k=1}^n f(k) = n^3.\)

+118609 Why do you think your rebuke is worth 3 points NewMember?
I think it is worth -3 points.
Behave yourself and say thanks for the person's interest before you suggest that an anwer is wrong.
AND
If you believe an answer is wrong then you are expected to say why you know this to be true.
e.g. the answer in the book is .....
+128475 1)
1 A B
_______ = _____ + _____ multiply through by k (k + 3)
k(k+3) k k + 3
1 = A(k + 3) + Bk simplify
1 + 0k = ( A + B)k + 3A
Equating like terms
3A = 1
A = (1/3)
And
A + B = 0
B = -1/3
So
(A, B) = (1/3, - 1/3)

We actually have the series
(1 + 1/9) + (1/9) + (1/90) + 1/900 + ......+ =
(10/9) + (1/9) + (1/90) + 1/900
The common ratio, r, = (1/10) and the first term is (10/9)
So....the sum of this infinite series =
(10/9) (10/9) (10/9) 10 10 100
______ = ________ = ______ = ___ * ___ = _____
1 - r 1 -1/10 (9/10) 9 9 81

You ask four questions all at once which automatically means you are using this site as a cheat site.
You give yourself as many points as is humanly possible. (it is in really bad taste to give yourself points for posting questions)
You criticize other people when you do not like their answers.
You take points off people at the drop of a hat.
And you never say thank you to anyone!
Your saving graces are that you do answer some questions
And the questions that you do ask are at least interesting. (Even though we are doing your homework for you.)
Please start improving your attitude !
