Question

¹/₂ + ¹/₆ + ¹/₁₂ + ¹/₂₀ + ¹/₃₀ + ¹/₄₂ + ¹/₅₆ + ¹/₇₂ + ¹/₉₀

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{30}+\dfrac{1}{42}+\dfrac{1}{56}+\dfrac{1}{72}+\dfrac{1}{90}\)\(=\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{2.3}+\dfrac{1}{3.4}+\dfrac{1}{4.5}+\dfrac{1}{5.6}+\dfrac{1}{6.7}+\dfrac{1}{7.8}+\dfrac{1}{8.9}+\dfrac{1}{9.10}\)

\(=\)\(1-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-...-\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{1}{9}-\dfrac{1}{10}\)

\(=\)\(1-\dfrac{1}{10}\)

\(=\dfrac{9}{10}\)

Answer 2

=1-1/10=9/10

Answer 3

\(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{30}+\dfrac{1}{42}+\dfrac{1}{56}+\dfrac{1}{72}+\dfrac{1}{90}\)

=\(\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{2.3}+\dfrac{1}{3.4}+\dfrac{1}{4.5}+\dfrac{1}{5.6}+\dfrac{1}{6.7}+\dfrac{1}{7.8}+\dfrac{1}{8.9}+\dfrac{1}{9.10}\)

\(=1-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}-\dfrac{1}{7}+\dfrac{1}{7}-\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{8}-\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{1}{9}-\dfrac{1}{10}\)

=\(1-\dfrac{1}{10}\)

=\(\dfrac{9}{10}\)
