A = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) x 5 + \(\dfrac{1}{5}\) x 8 + \(\dfrac{1}{8}\) x 11 + \(\dfrac{1}{14}\) x 17
A = \(\dfrac{5}{2}\) + \(\dfrac{8}{5}\) + \(\dfrac{11}{8}\) + \(\dfrac{17}{14}\)
A = \(\dfrac{700}{280}\) + \(\dfrac{448}{280}\) + \(\dfrac{385}{280}\) + \(\dfrac{340}{280}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) A = \(\dfrac{1873}{280}\)
A \(=\dfrac{1}{2.5}+\dfrac{1}{5.8}+\dfrac{1}{8.11}+\dfrac{1}{11.14}+\dfrac{1}{14.17}\)
A \(=\)\(\dfrac{1}{3}\left(\dfrac{3}{2.5}+\dfrac{3}{5.8}+\dfrac{3}{8.11}+\dfrac{3}{11.14}+\dfrac{3}{14.17}\right)\)
A \(=\dfrac{1}{3}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{8}-\dfrac{1}{11}+\dfrac{1}{11}-\dfrac{1}{14}+\dfrac{1}{14}-\dfrac{1}{17}\right)\)
A \(=\dfrac{1}{3}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{17}\right)\)
A \(=\dfrac{1}{3}.\dfrac{15}{34}\)
A \(=\dfrac{5}{34}\)
