Step-by-Step Verified Solution

f(1)+2f(2)+3f(3) + ... + nf(n)=n(n+1)+(n)f(1) + 2f(2) + 3f(3)\, + \,...\, + \,nf(n) = n(n + 1) + (n) ..... (i)

n→n+1n \to n + 1

f(1)+2f(2) + ... + (n+1)f(n+1)=(n+1)(n+2)f(n+1)f(1) + 2f(2)\, + \,...\, + \,(n + 1)f(n + 1) = (n + 1)(n + 2)f(n + 1) ...... (ii)

(i) and (ii) gives

3f(3)−2f(2)=03f(3) - 2f(2) = 0

4f(4)−3f(3)=04f(4) - 3f(3) = 0

⋮\vdots

(n+1)f(n+1)−nf(n)=0(n + 1)f(n + 1) - nf(n) = 0

⇒f(n+1)=2f(2)n+1\Rightarrow f(n + 1) = {{2f(2)} \over {n + 1}}

f(n)=12nf(n) = {1 \over {2n}}

1f(2022)+1f(2028)=8100{1 \over {f(2022)}} + {1 \over {f(2028)}} = 8100
