Question

\(\dfrac{1}{1-x}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{1+x}\)+\(\dfrac{2}{1+x^2}\)+\(\dfrac{4}{1+x^4}\)+\(\dfrac{8}{1+x^8}\)+\(\dfrac{16}{1+x^{16}}\)

Answer 1

\(=\left(\dfrac{1}{1-x}+\dfrac{1}{1+x}\right)+\dfrac{2}{1+x^2}+\dfrac{4}{1+x^4}+\dfrac{8}{1+x^8}+\dfrac{16}{1+x^{16}}\)

\(=\dfrac{2}{1-x^2}+\dfrac{2}{1+x^2}+\dfrac{4}{1+x^4}+\dfrac{8}{1+x^8}+\dfrac{16}{1+x^{16}}\)

\(=\dfrac{4}{1-x^4}+\dfrac{4}{1+x^4}+\dfrac{8}{1+x^8}+\dfrac{16}{1+x^{16}}\)

\(=\dfrac{8}{1-x^8}+\dfrac{8}{1+x^8}+\dfrac{16}{1+x^{16}}\)

\(=\dfrac{16}{1-x^{16}}+\dfrac{16}{1+x^{16}}\)

\(=\dfrac{32}{1-x^{32}}\)
