how to solve this sort of questions
Find the following sum:
1 /(1.2) + 1 /(2.3)+ 1 /(3.4) + . . . . .+ 1 / (99.100)
Yes I am getting the same
Yes I am getting the same answer
This can also be done in a much simple and lengthy method
1/(1.2) = 1/2
1/(1.2) + 1/(2.3) =1/2 + 1/6 = 2/3
1/(1.2) + 1/(2.3) + 1/(3.4) = 2/3 + 1/12 = 9/12 = 3/4
. . . . . ..
. . . . .
. . . .
similiarly for any number n
1/(1.2) + 1/(2.3) + 1/(3.4)+ . . . . +1/[(n-1).n] = (n-1)/n
soln fa ya problmm
very easy kin offf.....
1/(1.2)+1/(2.3)+........+(1/99.100)
sol:
jes analyse dis
1/(1.2) can be written as 1/1-1/2
similarly 1/(2.3) can be written as 1/2-1/3

.
similarly 1/(99.100) acn be written as 1/99-1/100
so whole eqn becomes
(1/1-1/2)+(1/2-1/3)+(1/3-1/4)+..........+(1/99-1/100)
1/2,1/3,1/4..........1/99 gets cancelled out..remainin terms are........
1/1-1/100
ans is 99/100
is it d ans???
let me give you the method
let me give you the method of partial fractions which is the same as what
ihim did but only more general.
1/(x+a)(x+b)()x+c).... can be written as
A/(x+a) + B/(x+b) + ......
using a simple rule of thumb you can find A,B and so on
eg. to find A take -a and substitute in the original fraction after removing (x+a) of course.Similarly for B substitute -b and so on.
here :
1/n(n+1) = A/n + B/(n+1)
to find A subst. 0 in 1/(n+1) . Thus A = 1
to find B subst. -1 in 1/n . Thus B = -1
thus 1/n(n+1) = 1/n - 1/(n+1) giving the general term.
now you can go ahead as ihim....!
not suggestable...
cum on rajorshi...!!!!
dat method iz nt suggestable..though its havin da basic mantra behind d question....!!!
You must have mathematics in
You must have mathematics in your graduation level that’s why in the first look you can determine what to write in place 1/1.2
For beginner’s rajorshi's solutions given a good explanation and to start with they shd solve like that only.
well ! isnt learning new
well ! isnt learning new things good ! as to how one can apply them totally depends on the individual , right :)
also the point should be how to solve problems of any complexity once we can find the pattern. Also by learning techniques you can depend a LOT LESS on providence during the exam as to whether the solution "strikes you or not".
And look at it this way, if for every question you have to start from scratch, then what is the use of practicing so many problems. I should not be just for the confidence 'cause MERE CONFIDENCE BACKED BY NOTHING IS MISERY.
