Compute the sum
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{100} + \sqrt{102}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{102} + \sqrt{104}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{104}+\sqrt{106}} + \cdots + \frac{1}{\sqrt{9998} + \sqrt{10000}}. \)Just give me a hint. Thank you!

Tell me if you need more help. :))

(a+b)(a-b) = a^2-b^2

YAYY. :))

 

(sqrt(100)-sqrt(102)+sqrt(102)-sqrt(104)...sqrt(9998)-sqrt(10000))/-2

Everything cancels out. :DDD

(10-100)/-2=45
