Options
- A1 - 2 101 4 101 - 1
- B1 + 2 101 4 101 - 1
- C1 + 2 100 4 101 - 1
- D1 - 2 100 4 201 - 1
Correct answer
A. 1 - 2 101 4 101 - 1
Step-by-step solution
Adding and subtracting 1 x - 1 S = 1 x - 1 - 1 x - 1 + 1 x + 1 + 2 x 2 + 1 + 2 2 x 4 + 1 + … + 2 100 x 2 100 + 1 S = 1 x - 1 + 1 x + 1 - 1 x - 1 + 2 x 2 + 1 + 2 2 x 4 + 1 + … + 2 100 x 2 100 + 1 S = 1 x - 1 + 2 x 2 + 1 + - 2 x 2 - 1 + 2 2 x 4 + 1 + … . + 2 100 x 2 100 + 1 S = 1 x - 1 + - 2 2 x 4 - 1 + 2 2 x 4 + 1 + … . + 2 100 x 2 100 + 1 S = 1 x - 1 - 2 101 x 2 101 - 1 For x = 2 ⇒ S = 1 - 2 101 2 2 101 - 1 = 1 - 2 101 4 101 - 1
