  1. Use the list of formulae (MF19) to find \(\sum _ { r = 1 } ^ { n } r ( r + 2 )\) in terms of \(n\), simplifying your answer.
  2. Express \(\frac { 1 } { r ( r + 2 ) }\) in partial fractions and hence find \(\sum _ { \mathrm { r } = 1 } ^ { \mathrm { n } } \frac { 1 } { \mathrm { r } ( \mathrm { r } + 2 ) }\) in terms of \(n\).
  3. Deduce the value of \(\sum _ { r = 1 } ^ { \infty } \frac { 1 } { r ( r + 2 ) }\).
