a) \(A=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{2^{100}}\)
\(2A=2\cdot\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2^2}+\dfrac{1}{2^3}+...+\dfrac{1}{2^{100}}\right)\)
\(2A=1+\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{2^{101}}\)
\(2A-A=1+\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{2^{99}}-\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2^2}-...-\dfrac{1}{2^{100}}\)
\(A=1-\dfrac{1}{2^{100}}\)
b) \(\dfrac{1}{1\cdot2}+\dfrac{1}{2\cdot3}+\dfrac{1}{3\cdot4}+...+\dfrac{1}{2023\cdot2024}\)
\(=1-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+...+\dfrac{1}{2023}-\dfrac{1}{2024}\)
\(=1-\dfrac{1}{2024}\)
\(=\dfrac{2024}{2024}-\dfrac{1}{2024}\)
\(=\dfrac{2023}{2024}\)
A = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2^2}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2^3}\) + ...+ \(\dfrac{1}{2^{99}}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2^{100}}\)
2A = 2.(\(\dfrac{1}{2}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2^2}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2^3}\)+...+ \(\dfrac{1}{2^{99}}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2^{100}}\))
2A = 1 + \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2^2}\)+.....+ \(\dfrac{1}{2^{98}}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2^{99}}\)
2A - A = \(1\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2^2}\) + ...+ \(\dfrac{1}{2^{98}}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2^{99}}\) - (\(\dfrac{1}{2}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{2^2}\) +\(\dfrac{1}{2^3}\)+...+\(\dfrac{1}{2^{99}}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{2^{100}}\))
A = 1 + \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)+ \(\dfrac{1}{2^2}\)+ ...+ \(\dfrac{1}{2^{98}}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{2^{99}}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{2^2}\)-...- \(\dfrac{1}{2^{100}}\)
A = 1 - \(\dfrac{1}{2^{100}}\)
