Problem 1 Solution
Write as an addition of a series of fractional powers of and then again as a series of simplified fractions.
Powers of :
Simplified Fractions:
Problem 2 Solution
Find the sum of
Problem 3 Solution
Try to find the product of
without performing the actual multiplication.
The denominator of each fraction cancels with the numerator of the fraction following it.
The denominator in cancels the numerator in etc.
The only 2 numbers that don't cancel are the numerator in and the denominator in leaving
We can also rearrange the numerators to make 4 of the fractions equivalent to
Problem 4 Solution
Solve the equation
Problem 5 Solution
Solve the equation
