<h3>Answer:  101/200</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

Each term multiplied out is of the form 1 - 1/(k^2) which we can write as 1^2 - (1/k)^2

Note we have something in the form a^2 - b^2 with a = 1 and b = 1/k

So  

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

1^2 - (1/k)^2 = (1 - 1/k)(1 + 1/k)

1^2 - (1/k)^2 = [ (k - 1)/k ] * [ (k + 1)/k ]

----------------

Let P = [ (k - 1)/k ] * [ (k + 1)/k ]  represent the kth term we are dealing with

Then let Q be the term just after term P, so it's the (k+1) term

To form term Q, replace every k with k+1

Q =  [ (k+1 - 1)/(k+1) ] * [ (k+1 + 1)/(k+1) ]

Q = [ k/(k+1) ] * [ (k+2)/(k+1) ]

----------------

Let's multiply P and Q to find out what happens . See figure 1 in the attached images below.

As figure 1 shows, we see that the middle terms cancel out. This will happen when we multiply P*Q*R, where R is the term just after Q. Extend this idea out as far as you want and each time the middle terms will pair up and cancel.

All that's left are the first and last terms, which are

1 - 1/2 = 1/2

and

1 + 1/100 = 101/100

They multiply to 101/200

----------------

Figure 2 (also attached as an image) shows a longer way to do the problem. Basically I expanded out a bunch of terms to multiply, and then show how we have various terms pair up and cancel, in basically the same way as explained above. What's left are the first and last terms 1/2 and 101/100 which multiply to 101/200.

Khloe and Emma work at a furniture store. Khloe is paid $245 per week plus 9.5% of her total sales in dollars, xx, which can be
ale4655 [162]

Answer: Their weekly pay would be the same if xx equals $1,600

Step-by-step explanation: The first and most important step is to identify what the question requires, and that is, what is the value of the unknown in the equation of their weekly incomes that would make their pay to be the same? Their weekly pay as per individual is given as follows;

Khloe = 245 + 0.095x ———(1)

Emma = 285 + 0.07x ———(2)

Simply put, we need to find the value of x when equation (1) equals equation (2)

245 + 0.095x = 285 + 0.07x

Collect like terms and we now have

0.095x - 0.07x = 285 - 245

0.025x = 40

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.025

x = 1600

Therefore their weekly pay would be at the same level, if x equals $1600
