The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the function \( f(x) \) defined as: \[ f(x) = \lim_{n \to \infty} \left( \frac{x}{x+1} + \frac{x}{(x+1)(2x+1)} + \frac{x}{(2x+1)(3x+1)} + \ldots + \text{ up to } n \text{ terms} \right) \] ### Step 1: Understand the Domain The function is defined for \( x \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{-\frac{1}{n} : n \in \mathbb{N}\} \). This means that \( x \) can take any real value except for the values of the form \( -\frac{1}{n} \) where \( n \) is a natural number. **Hint:** Identify the values of \( x \) that are excluded from the domain. ### Step 2: Write the General Term The general term in the series can be expressed as: \[ \frac{x}{(kx + 1)((k+1)x + 1)} \text{ for } k = 0, 1, 2, \ldots, n-1 \] ### Step 3: Simplifying the Series We can rewrite the sum as: \[ \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac{x}{(kx + 1)((k+1)x + 1)} \] This can be simplified using partial fractions. We can express: \[ \frac{x}{(kx + 1)((k+1)x + 1)} = \frac{A}{kx + 1} + \frac{B}{(k+1)x + 1} \] ### Step 4: Finding the Limit As \( n \to \infty \), we observe that the series converges. The limit can be evaluated by noticing that the terms will cancel out in a telescoping manner. The limit simplifies to: \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{nx + 1} \right) \] ### Step 5: Evaluate the Limit As \( n \to \infty \), the term \( \frac{1}{nx + 1} \) approaches 0, thus: \[ f(x) = 1 \] ### Conclusion Since \( f(x) = 1 \) for all \( x \) in the domain, the range of \( f \) contains exactly **1 element**. **Final Answer:** The range of \( f \) contains exactly **1 element**.
