The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the sum of the series: \[ S = \sum_{n=1}^{24} \frac{1}{n \sqrt{n} + (n-1) \sqrt{n+1}} \] ### Step 1: Rewrite the General Term The general term of the series can be expressed as: \[ T_n = \frac{1}{n \sqrt{n} + (n-1) \sqrt{n+1}} \] ### Step 2: Rationalize the Denominator To simplify \(T_n\), we will rationalize the denominator. We multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ T_n = \frac{1}{n \sqrt{n} + (n-1) \sqrt{n+1}} \cdot \frac{n \sqrt{n+1} - (n-1) \sqrt{n}}{n \sqrt{n+1} - (n-1) \sqrt{n}} \] ### Step 3: Apply the Difference of Squares Using the difference of squares formula \(a^2 - b^2\): \[ T_n = \frac{n \sqrt{n+1} - (n-1) \sqrt{n}}{(n \sqrt{n+1})^2 - ((n-1) \sqrt{n})^2} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Denominator Calculating the denominator: \[ (n \sqrt{n+1})^2 - ((n-1) \sqrt{n})^2 = n^2(n+1) - (n-1)^2 n \] Expanding both terms: \[ = n^3 + n^2 - (n^2 - 2n + 1)n = n^3 + n^2 - n^3 + 2n^2 - n = 3n^2 - n \] ### Step 5: Substitute Back into the General Term Thus, we have: \[ T_n = \frac{n \sqrt{n+1} - (n-1) \sqrt{n}}{3n^2 - n} \] ### Step 6: Rewrite the Series Now we can rewrite the series \(S\): \[ S = \sum_{n=1}^{24} \left( \frac{n \sqrt{n+1} - (n-1) \sqrt{n}}{3n^2 - n} \right) \] ### Step 7: Simplify Further Notice that the series has a telescoping nature. We can express the series as: \[ S = \sum_{n=1}^{24} \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{n+1}} \right) \] ### Step 8: Evaluate the Series This is a telescoping series, where most terms cancel out: \[ S = \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{25}} \right) = 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the sum of the series is: \[ \boxed{\frac{4}{5}} \]
