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 , you will see that except 1 all get cancelled and 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.

Break the fraction
1/(x+1)(x+2)
into two partial fractions as
A/(x+1) and
B/(x+2).
Now equate the first fraction with sum of two partial fractions. You get
A(x+2) + B(x+1) = 1
Put x=-1and then -2 and obtain the value of A and B.
Put the sum of the resolved two partial fractions into the original sum. You get
sum [1/(x+1)]-sum [1/(x+2)]
and open the terms.
You get a expansion of
S= 1 + 1/2 + 1/3+ ••• -1/2 - 1/3 - •••
So see all cancel and only one remains
Hence we have the sum as 1
