Math Problem Statement
the value of (1)/(\sqrt(11)+\sqrt(9))+(1)/(\sqrt(3)+\sqrt(11))+........+(1)/(\sqrt(2025)+\sqrt(2023)) is
Solution
The given series is:
To simplify each term, we use the identity:
For each term in the series, we have and such that and where is an integer starting from 1 up to some maximum value where .
Rewriting the terms using the identity:
Thus, the series becomes:
This is a telescoping series. The terms will cancel out except for the first negative and the last positive terms:
In a telescoping series, most terms cancel out, leaving:
Calculating the remaining terms:
So:
Therefore, the value of the given series is:
