Question

\(\left(1-\frac{1}{4}\right)X\left(1-\frac{1}{9}\right)X\left(1-\frac{1}{16}\right)X.......X\left(1-\frac{1}{144}\right)X\left(1-\frac{1}{169}\right)\)

Answer 1

\(\left(1-\frac{1}{4}\right)\cdot\left(1-\frac{1}{9}\right)\cdot\left(1-\frac{1}{16}\right)\cdot...\cdot\left(1-\frac{1}{444}\right)\cdot\left(1-\frac{1}{169}\right)\)

\(=\frac{3}{4}\cdot\frac{8}{9}\cdot\frac{15}{16}\cdot...\cdot\frac{143}{144}\cdot\frac{168}{169}\)

\(=\frac{1.3}{2.2}\cdot\frac{2.4}{3.3}\cdot\frac{3.5}{4.4}\cdot....\cdot\frac{11.13}{12.12}\cdot\frac{12.14}{13.13}\)

\(=\frac{1\cdot2\cdot3\cdot...\cdot11\cdot12}{2\cdot3\cdot4\cdot...\cdot12\cdot13}\cdot\frac{3\cdot4\cdot5\cdot....\cdot13\cdot14}{2\cdot3\cdot4\cdot....\cdot12\cdot13}\)

\(=\frac{1}{13}\cdot\frac{14}{2}=\frac{7}{13}\)
