Mar 2, 2017 at 15:19 comment added bobbym @Jawad_Mansoor there has yet to be any piece of software except in the movies that can do it all for you. I doubt there ever will be. Hamming once said, "the purpose of computing is insight, not numbers." It is still true today. If Mma spits out the answer, then great, if not, then we can use it to play. Experimenting is a powerful new/old technique that Mma makes easier.

A bit of grammar.
Mar 2, 2017 at 14:59 comment added Jawad_Mansoor Ok that is a good way to come around but still it means Mathematica can't solve this kind of question/equation (if upper bound of n is not defined). And Mathematica is considered in solving symbolic expressions, does this mean there is no software which can solve this kind of expression? By the way pattern recognition is a good idea. I am not working in the area of OP otherwise I could have tested if equation holds for all k. @bobbym
