9 You are given that \(\frac { 3 } { 4 ( 2 r - 1 ) } - \frac { 1 } { 2 r + 1 } + \frac { 1 } { 4 ( 2 r + 3 ) } = \frac { 2 r + 5 } { ( 2 r - 1 ) ( 2 r + 1 ) ( 2 r + 3 ) }\).

  2. Write down the limit to which \(\sum _ { r = 1 } ^ { n } \frac { 2 r + 5 } { ( 2 r - 1 ) ( 2 r + 1 ) ( 2 r + 3 ) }\) converges as \(n\) tends to infinity.
  3. Find the sum of the finite series $$\frac { 45 } { 39 \times 41 \times 43 } + \frac { 47 } { 41 \times 43 \times 45 } + \frac { 49 } { 43 \times 45 \times 47 } + \ldots + \frac { 105 } { 99 \times 101 \times 103 } ,$$ giving your answer to 3 significant figures. \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER}
