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+

Claire traveled 701 miles. She drove 80 miles every day. On the last day of her trip she only drove 61 miles. Write and solve an
mina [271]

Answer:

Claire traveled for 9 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Distance traveled = 701 miles

Distance traveled each day = 80 miles

Distance traveled on last day = 61 miles

We need to find the number of days Claire traveled.

Solution:

Let the number of days Claire traveled be denoted by 'd'.

Now we can say that;

Total Distance traveled is equal to sum of Distance traveled each day multiplied by number of days and Distance traveled on last day.

framing in equation form we get;

80d+61=701

Now Subtracting both side by 61 using Subtraction Property of Equality we get;

80d+61-61=701-61\\\\80d = 640

Now Dividing both side by 80 we get;

\frac{80d}{80}=\frac{640}{80}\\\\d=8

Hence Claire traveled 80 miles in 8 days and 61 miles on last day making of total <u>9 days</u> of travel.
