Compute \[\frac{1^2}{1^2-10+50}+\frac{2^2}{2^2-20+50}+\frac{3^2}{3^2-30+50}+\cdots +\frac{9^2}{9^2-90+50}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(n)^{2}/[(n)^{2}-(n \times10)+50]\] where n is no of tern

OpenStudy (anonymous):

term*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u get it ? and was it right???

OpenStudy (watchmath):

yes of course, so what? the problem wants us to compute the sum in a smart way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wht do u mean

OpenStudy (watchmath):

nvm, what is the sum of all the above numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where does it end???

OpenStudy (watchmath):

until n=9.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The above sum may be represented as \[a=\sum_{n=1}^{9}\frac{n^2}{n^2-10n+50}\] Now, \[a=1+\sum_{n=1}^{4}\frac{n^2+(10-n)^2}{n^2-10n+50}=1+2\sum_{n=1}^{4}\frac{n^2-10n+50}{n^2-10n+50}=1+2\cdot4=9\].
