\(N=1+\dfrac{1}{2}+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2+...+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{100}\)
\(\Rightarrow2N=2+1+\dfrac{1}{2}+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2+...+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{99}\)
\(\Rightarrow N=2N-N=2+1+\dfrac{1}{2}+...+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{99}-1-\dfrac{1}{2}-...-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{100}=2-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{100}\)
\(N=1+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^3+...+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{100}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{2}N=\dfrac{1}{2}+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^3+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^4+...+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{101}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{2}N-N=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^3+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^4+...+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{101}\right)\)
\(-\left(1+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^3+...+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{100}\right)\)
\(-\dfrac{1}{2}N=\dfrac{1}{2}+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{101}-1\)
\(N=\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{2}+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{101}}{-\dfrac{1}{2}}\)
