The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \[ N = \frac{1}{1 + 1 \times 1} + \frac{1}{2 + 2 \times 2} + \frac{1}{3 + 3 \times 3} + \frac{1}{4 + 4 \times 4} + \ldots + \frac{1}{n + n \times n} \] where \( n = 100 \), we can simplify each term in the series. ### Step 1: Simplify each term Each term in the series can be expressed as: \[ \frac{1}{k + k \times k} = \frac{1}{k + k^2} = \frac{1}{k(1 + k)} \] Thus, we can rewrite \( N \) as: \[ N = \sum_{k=1}^{100} \frac{1}{k(1 + k)} \] ### Step 2: Decompose the fraction We can use partial fraction decomposition on the term \( \frac{1}{k(1 + k)} \): \[ \frac{1}{k(1 + k)} = \frac{1}{k} - \frac{1}{1 + k} \] ### Step 3: Rewrite the sum Now substituting back into the sum, we have: \[ N = \sum_{k=1}^{100} \left( \frac{1}{k} - \frac{1}{1 + k} \right) \] ### Step 4: Expand the sum This can be expanded as: \[ N = \left( \frac{1}{1} - \frac{1}{2} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4} \right) + \ldots + \left( \frac{1}{100} - \frac{1}{101} \right) \] ### Step 5: Notice the cancellation In this series, most terms will cancel out: \[ N = 1 - \frac{1}{101} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the final value Thus, we can simplify this to: \[ N = 1 - \frac{1}{101} = \frac{101}{101} - \frac{1}{101} = \frac{100}{101} \] ### Final Answer So, the value of \( N \) is: \[ N = \frac{100}{101} \] ---
