令 x=arctanA 和 y=arctanB,就有 tanx=A、tany=B。使用
tan(x−y)=1+tanxtanytanx−tany.
因为 A>B>0,所以 x>y>0,差角在主值范围内,可以对两边取 arctan。

Let
x=arctanA,y=arctanB.
Then
tanx=A,tany=B.
Using the compound angle formula,
tan(x−y)==1+tanxtanytanx−tany1+ABA−B.
Since A>B>0, we have x>y>0, so x−y is in the principal range for arctan. Hence
x−y=arctan(1+ABA−B).
Therefore
arctanA−arctanB=arctan(1+ABA−B).

直接代入 A=r+2、B=r。关键是把分母展开后写成 (r+1)2。

When
A=r+2,B=r,
we have
1+ABA−B===1+(r+2)r(r+2)−r1+r2+2r2(r+1)22.

由 (a)、(b) 可得
arctan((r+1)22)=arctan(r+2)−arctanr.
然后把 r=1 到 n 展开,中间项会抵消。

From parts (a) and (b),
arctan((r+1)22)=arctan(r+2)−arctanr.
Therefore
=r=1∑narctan((r+1)22)r=1∑n[arctan(r+2)−arctanr].
Write out the terms:
(arctan3−arctan1)+(arctan4−arctan2)+(arctan5−arctan3)+⋯+(arctan(n+1)−arctan(n−1))+(arctan(n+2)−arctann).
The middle terms cancel, leaving
r=1∑narctan((r+1)22)=arctan(n+2)+arctan(n+1)−arctan2−arctan1.
Since
arctan1=4π,
we have
r=1∑narctan((r+1)22)=arctan(n+2)+arctan(n+1)−arctan2−4π.
Thus
p=2,q=1.

思路

当 n→∞ 时,
arctan(n+2)→2π,arctan(n+1)→2π.
把这个代入 (c) 的结果即可。

From part (c),
As n→∞,
arctan(n+2)→2π,arctan(n+1)→2π.
Therefore
r=1∑∞arctan((r+1)22)==2π+2π−arctan2−4π43π−arctan2.
So
k=43.
