Question

\(\dfrac{2}{1.3}\) + \(\dfrac{2}{3.5}\) + \(\dfrac{2}{5.7}\) + ... + \(\dfrac{2}{95.97}\)

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{2}{1.3}\) + \(\dfrac{2}{3.5}\) + ..... + \(\dfrac{2}{95.97}\)

= 1 - \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{5}\) + .... + \(\dfrac{1}{95}\) - \(\dfrac{1}{97}\)

= \(1-\dfrac{1}{97}\) 

= \(\dfrac{96}{97}\)

Answer 2

\(\dfrac{2}{1\times3}+\dfrac{2}{3\times5}+\dfrac{2}{5\times7}+...+\dfrac{2}{95\times97}\)

\(=\dfrac{2}{3}\left(\dfrac{1}{1\times3}+\dfrac{1}{3\times5}+\dfrac{1}{5\times7}+...+\dfrac{1}{95\times97}\right)\)

\(=\dfrac{2}{3}\left(\dfrac{1}{1}-\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{1}{7}+...+\dfrac{1}{95}-\dfrac{1}{97}\right)\)

\(=\dfrac{2}{3}\left(1-\dfrac{1}{97}\right)\)\(=\dfrac{2}{3}\times\dfrac{96}{97}\)\(=\dfrac{64}{97}\)
