Answer:

\log\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\log\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)+\log\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)+\log\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)+...+\log\left(\frac{98}{99}\right) +\log\left(\frac{99}{100}\right) = \log(\frac{1}{100})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\log\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\log\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)+\log\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)+\log\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)+...+\log\left(\frac{98}{99}\right) +\log\left(\frac{99}{100}\right)

Required

The sum

Using the laws of logarithm, we have:

\log(a) + \log(b) = \log(ab)

Take the first two terms of the series

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3}) = \log(\frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{3})

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3}) = \log(\frac{1}{3})

Include the third term

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ \log(\frac{3}{4}) = \log(\frac{1}{3} * \frac{3}{4})

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ \log(\frac{3}{4}) = \log(\frac{1}{4})

Include the fourth term

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ \log(\frac{3}{4}) + \log(\frac{4}{5}) = \log(\frac{1}{4} *\frac{4}{5})

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ \log(\frac{3}{4}) + \log(\frac{4}{5}) = \log(\frac{1}{5})

Notice the following pattern

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3}) = \log(\frac{1}{3}) ---------------- n =2

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ \log(\frac{3}{4}) = \log(\frac{1}{4}) -------------- n = 3

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ \log(\frac{3}{4}) + \log(\frac{4}{5}) = \log(\frac{1}{5}) ----------- n = 4

So the sum of n series is:

\log(\frac{1}{2}) + \log(\frac{2}{3})+ ............ + \log(\frac{n}{n+1}) = \log(\frac{1}{n+1})

So, the sum of the series is:

\log\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\log\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)+\log\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)+\log\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)+...+\log\left(\frac{98}{99}\right) +\log\left(\frac{99}{100}\right)

\log\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\log\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)+\log\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)+\log\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)+...+\log\left(\frac{98}{99}\right) +\log\left(\frac{99}{100}\right) = \log(\frac{1}{99+1})

\log\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+\log\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)+\log\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)+\log\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)+...+\log\left(\frac{98}{99}\right) +\log\left(\frac{99}{100}\right) = \log(\frac{1}{100})

Answer:

(-2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want the points where the function is greater than zero

Looking at the function it is between the x intercepts

The x intercepts ares -2 and 1

-2 <x<1 is when y >0

We want interval notation

If the triangles in the diagram are congruent, what is the value of x?
Natalija [7]
If shapes are congruent, then they are mathematically equal (same dimensions, angles etc.). So just locate where the angle x is on both triangles, it should have a value on or a calculable value on the other. If you provide us with the actual sheet I could walk you through it.
