Find the sum of the following series up to n terms : (i) 5 + 55 + 555 + ..... (ii) .6 + .66 + .666 + .....
Solution:
(i) Let = 5 + 55 + 555 + ..... to n terms, which can be written as = [9 + 99 + 999 + ... to n terms] = [(10 - 1) + (100 - 1) + (1000 - 1) + ... to n terms] = [(10 + 100 + 1000 + ... to n terms) - (1 + 1 + ... to n terms)] = = = (ii) Let = 0.6 + 0.66 + 0.666 + ...... to n terms, which can be written as = [0.9 + 0.99 + 0.999 + ... to n terms] = [(1 - 0.1) + (1 - 0.01) + (1 - 0.001) + ... to n terms] = [(1 + 1 + ... to n terms) - (0.1 + 0.01 + 0.001 + ... to n terms)] = = =
