Answer 1

Answer:

1) True 2) False

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given  $\sum\limits_{k=0}^8\frac{1}{k+3}=\sum\limits_{i=3}^{11}\frac{1}{i}$

To verify that the above equality is true or false:

Now find $\sum\limits_{k=0}^8\frac{1}{k+3}$

Expanding the summation we get

$\sum\limits_{k=0}^8\frac{1}{k+3}=\frac{1}{0+3}+\frac{1}{1+3}+\frac{1}{2+3}+\frac{1}{3+3}+\frac{1}{4+3}+\frac{1}{5+3}+\frac{1}{6+3}+\frac{1}{7+3}+\frac{1}{8+3}$ $\sum\limits_{k=0}^8\frac{1}{k+3}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{11}$

Now find $\sum\limits_{i=3}^{11}\frac{1}{i}$

Expanding the summation we get

$\sum\limits_{i=3}^{11}\frac{1}{i}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{11}$

 Comparing the two series  we get,

$\sum\limits_{k=0}^8\frac{1}{k+3}=\sum\limits_{i=3}^{11}\frac{1}{i}$ so the given equality is true.

2) Given $\sum\limits_{k=0}^4\frac{3k+3}{k+6}=\sum\limits_{i=1}^3\frac{3i}{i+5}$

Verify the above equality is true or false

Now find $\sum\limits_{k=0}^4\frac{3k+3}{k+6}$

Expanding the summation we get

$\sum\limits_{k=0}^4\frac{3k+3}{k+6}=\frac{3(0)+3}{0+6}+\frac{3(1)+3}{1+6}+\frac{3(2)+3}{2+6}+\frac{3(3)+4}{3+6}+\frac{3(4)+3}{4+6}$

$\sum\limits_{k=0}^4\frac{3k+3}{k+6}=\frac{3}{6}+\frac{6}{7}+\frac{9}{8}+\frac{12}{8}+\frac{15}{10}$

now find $\sum\limits_{i=1}^3\frac{3i}{i+5}$

Expanding the summation we get

$\sum\limits_{i=1}^3\frac{3i}{i+5}=\frac{3(0)}{0+5}+\frac{3(1)}{1+5}+\frac{3(2)}{2+5}+\frac{3(3)}{3+5}$

$\sum\limits_{i=1}^3\frac{3i}{i+5}=\frac{3}{6}+\frac{6}{7}+\frac{9}{8}$

Comparing the series we get that the given equality is false.

ie, $\sum\limits_{k=0}^4\frac{3k+3}{k+6}\neq\sum\limits_{i=1}^3\frac{3i}{i+5}$
