Step-by-step explanation:

LHS:

\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}}+\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots+\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{9}}1+21+2+31+3+41+……………+8+91

Rationalizing the denominator, we get

\Rightarrow\left(\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{1-\sqrt{2}}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{4}}\right)+\cdots \ldots+\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{9}} \times \frac{\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{9}}\right)⇒(1+21×1−21−2)+(2+31×2−32−3)+(3+41×3−43−4)+⋯…+(8+91×8−98−9)

We know that,

\left(a^{2}-b^{2}\right)=(a+b)(a-b)(a2−b2)=(a+b)(a−b)

Now, on substituting the formula, we get,

=\frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{1-2}+\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}{2-3}+\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{4}}{3-4}+\cdots \ldots \cdot \frac{(\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{9})}{8-9}=1−21−2+2−32−3+3−43−4+⋯…⋅8−9(8−9)

\Rightarrow \frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{9}}=(\sqrt{2}-1)+(\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2})+(\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{3})+\cdots+(\sqrt{9}-\sqrt{8})⇒1+21+

Determinewhether the two lines areparallel, perpendicular, neither.X-3=6Y = 3x +4
Brums [2.3K]

we have the lines

x-3=6

x=6+3

x=9

this is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

The slope is undefined

and

y=3x+4

The slope is m=3

Compare their slopes

1) Their slopes are not equal -----> are not parallel lines

2) Their slopes are not negative reciprocal -----> are not perpendicular lines

therefore

<h2>The answer is neither</h2>
