Question:medium

Evaluate \[ \frac{1}{1\cdot6}+\frac{1}{6\cdot11}+\frac{1}{11\cdot16}+\cdots \] for \(n\) terms.

Show Hint

Whenever the denominator is of the form \[ (a)(a+k), \] use \[ \boxed{ \frac1{a(a+k)} = \frac1k \left( \frac1a-\frac1{a+k} \right) } \] which usually produces a telescoping series.
