A function f ( x ) is given by f x = 5 x 5 x + 5 , then the sum of the series f 1 20 + f 2 20 + f 3 20 + … + f 39 20 is equal to:
Options
- A19 2
- B49 2
- C39 2
- D29 2
Correct answer
C. 39 2
Step-by-step solution
f x = 5 x 5 x + 5    and   f 2 - x = 5 5 x + 5 f x + f 2 - x = 1 ⇒ f 1 20 + f 2 20 + … + f 39 20 = f 1 20 + f 39 20 + … + f 19 20 + f 21 20 + f 20 20 = 19 + 1 2 = 39 2
