Question

a=1+1/3+1/6+1/10+...+1/4950

Answer 1

A =           1 + \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{6}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{10}\) + .....+ \(\dfrac{1}{4950}\)

A = \(\dfrac{2}{2}\) \(\times\) ( 1 + \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{6}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{10}\)+.......+ \(\dfrac{1}{4950}\))

A = 2 \(\times\) ( \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{6}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{12}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{20}\)+......+ \(\dfrac{1}{9900}\))

A = 2  \(\times\) ( \(\dfrac{1}{1.2}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2.3}\)+ \(\dfrac{1}{3.4}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{4.5}\)+....+ \(\dfrac{1}{99.100}\))

A = 2  \(\times\) ( \(\dfrac{1}{1}\) -  \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{3}\)+ \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{4}\)+ \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{5}\) +....+ \(\dfrac{1}{99}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{100}\))

A = 2 \(\times\) ( 1  -  \(\dfrac{1}{100}\)) 

A = 2 \(\times\) \(\dfrac{99}{100}\)

A = \(\dfrac{99}{50}\)
