Question

(1/2 - 1) (1/3 - 1) ... (1/2002 - 1) ( 1/2003)  = ?

3/4.8/9.15/16 ..... 9999/10000 = ?

 

 

Answer 1

\(\left(\frac{1}{2}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{3}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{4}-1\right)....\left(\frac{1}{2003}-1\right)\)

=\(\frac{-1}{2}.\frac{-2}{3}.\frac{-3}{4}.....\frac{-2002}{2003}\)

=\(\frac{1}{2003}\)

\(\frac{3}{4}.\frac{8}{9}.\frac{15}{16}....\frac{9999}{10000}\)

=\(\frac{1.3}{2.2}.\frac{2.4}{3.3}.\frac{3.5}{4.4}.....\frac{99.101}{100.100}\)

=\(\frac{\left(1.2.3.....99\right)\left(3.4.5.....101\right)}{\left(2.3.4.....100\right)\left(2.3.4.....100\right)}\)

=\(\frac{101}{100.2}\)

=\(\frac{101}{200}\)
