The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3.25} + \sqrt{2.25}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{4.25} + \sqrt{3.25}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{5.25} + \sqrt{4.25}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{6.25} + \sqrt{5.25}}, \] we will simplify each term step by step. ### Step 1: Simplifying the first term We start with the first term: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3.25} + \sqrt{2.25}}. \] To simplify this, we can multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ \frac{\sqrt{3.25} - \sqrt{2.25}}{(\sqrt{3.25} + \sqrt{2.25})(\sqrt{3.25} - \sqrt{2.25})} = \frac{\sqrt{3.25} - \sqrt{2.25}}{3.25 - 2.25} = \sqrt{3.25} - \sqrt{2.25}. \] ### Step 2: Simplifying the second term Now, we simplify the second term: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{4.25} + \sqrt{3.25}}. \] Using the same method, we multiply by the conjugate: \[ \frac{\sqrt{4.25} - \sqrt{3.25}}{(\sqrt{4.25} + \sqrt{3.25})(\sqrt{4.25} - \sqrt{3.25})} = \frac{\sqrt{4.25} - \sqrt{3.25}}{4.25 - 3.25} = \sqrt{4.25} - \sqrt{3.25}. \] ### Step 3: Simplifying the third term Next, we simplify the third term: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{5.25} + \sqrt{4.25}}. \] Again, we multiply by the conjugate: \[ \frac{\sqrt{5.25} - \sqrt{4.25}}{(\sqrt{5.25} + \sqrt{4.25})(\sqrt{5.25} - \sqrt{4.25})} = \frac{\sqrt{5.25} - \sqrt{4.25}}{5.25 - 4.25} = \sqrt{5.25} - \sqrt{4.25}. \] ### Step 4: Simplifying the fourth term Finally, we simplify the fourth term: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{6.25} + \sqrt{5.25}}. \] Multiplying by the conjugate gives us: \[ \frac{\sqrt{6.25} - \sqrt{5.25}}{(\sqrt{6.25} + \sqrt{5.25})(\sqrt{6.25} - \sqrt{5.25})} = \frac{\sqrt{6.25} - \sqrt{5.25}}{6.25 - 5.25} = \sqrt{6.25} - \sqrt{5.25}. \] ### Step 5: Combining all terms Now we can combine all the simplified terms: \[ (\sqrt{3.25} - \sqrt{2.25}) + (\sqrt{4.25} - \sqrt{3.25}) + (\sqrt{5.25} - \sqrt{4.25}) + (\sqrt{6.25} - \sqrt{5.25}). \] Notice that the terms cancel out: - \(\sqrt{3.25}\) cancels with \(-\sqrt{3.25}\), - \(\sqrt{4.25}\) cancels with \(-\sqrt{4.25}\), - \(\sqrt{5.25}\) cancels with \(-\sqrt{5.25}\). Thus, we are left with: \[ \sqrt{6.25} - \sqrt{2.25}. \] ### Step 6: Evaluating the final expression Now we calculate the final values: \[ \sqrt{6.25} = 2.5 \quad \text{and} \quad \sqrt{2.25} = 1.5. \] So we have: \[ 2.5 - 1.5 = 1. \] ### Final Answer The value of the given expression is \[ \boxed{1}. \]
