Question

\(\frac{1}{1.3}+\frac{1}{3.5}+\frac{1}{5.7}+...+\frac{1}{97.99}\)

Answer 1

\(=\frac{2}{1.3.2}+\frac{2}{3.5.2}+\frac{2}{5.7.2}+...+\frac{2}{97.99.2}\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{2}{1.3}+\frac{2}{3.5}+\frac{2}{5.7}+...+\frac{2}{97.99}\right)\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{5}+...+\frac{1}{95}-\frac{1}{97}+\frac{1}{97}-\frac{1}{99}\right)\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{99}\right)=\frac{1}{2}.\frac{98}{99}=\frac{49}{99}\)

Answer 2

= 1-1/3+1/3-1/5+1/5-1/7+...+1/97-1/99

= 1 - 1/99

= 98/99
