#1#

#1/((k+1)sqrt(k)+ksqrt(k+1))=((k+1)sqrt(k)-ksqrt(k+1))/((k+1)^2k-k^2(k+1))#

or

#1/((k+1)sqrt(k)+ksqrt(k+1))=(sqrt(k)(k+1)-ksqrt(k+1))/(k(k+1))#

so

#sum_(k=1)^n1/((k+1)sqrt(k)+ksqrt(k+1))=sum_(k=1)^n 1/sqrt(k)-sum_(k=1)^n 1/sqrt(k+1) = 1-1/sqrt(n+1)#

then

#lim_(n->oo)sum_(k=1)^n1/((k+1)sqrt(k)+ksqrt(k+1))=1-lim_(n->oo)1/sqrt(n+1) = 1#
