How to find the sum of the sequence $\frac{1}{1+1^2+1^4} +\frac{2}{1+2^2+2^4} +\frac{3}{1+3^2+3^4}+.....$
I am unable to find out how to proceed in this problem.. this is a problem of arithmetic progression... Please suggest how to proceed...Thanks..
 [/INST] HINT:
As $1+r^2+r^4=(1+r^2)^2-(r)^2=(1+r+r^2)(1-r+r^2)$
and $(1+r+r^2)-(1-r+r^2)=2r,$
$$\frac r{1+r^2+r^4}$$
$$=\frac12\cdot\frac{2r}{(1+r+r^2)(1-r+r^2)}$$
$$=\frac12\cdot\frac{(1+r+r^2)-(1-r+r^2)}{(1+r+r^2)(1-r+r^2)}$$
$$=\frac12\left(\frac1{1-r+r^2}-\frac1{1+r+r^2}\right)$$
Put the values of $r=1,2,\cdots.. n-1,n$ to find the partial sum
 and recognize the Telescoping Sum/Series which is evident as $1-(r+1)+(r+1)^2=1+r+r^2$
Then set $n\to\infty$
