Explanation

Solution

Let N=∑n=199(10+n)N = \sum\limits_{n=1}^{99}(\sqrt{10} + \sqrt{n}) and D=∑n=199(10−n)D = \sum\limits_{n=1}^{99}(\sqrt{10} - \sqrt{n}). The given expression is S=NDS = \frac{N}{D}. We need to find the value of (1S−S)\left(\frac{1}{S} - S\right). 1S−S=DN−ND=D2−N2ND\frac{1}{S} - S = \frac{D}{N} - \frac{N}{D} = \frac{D^2 - N^2}{ND}.

Let's analyze the sums NN and DD. N=∑n=19910+∑n=199n=9910+∑n=199nN = \sum_{n=1}^{99} \sqrt{10} + \sum_{n=1}^{99} \sqrt{n} = 99\sqrt{10} + \sum_{n=1}^{99} \sqrt{n}. D=∑n=19910−∑n=199n=9910−∑n=199nD = \sum_{n=1}^{99} \sqrt{10} - \sum_{n=1}^{99} \sqrt{n} = 99\sqrt{10} - \sum_{n=1}^{99} \sqrt{n}.

Let A=9910A = 99\sqrt{10} and B=∑n=199nB = \sum_{n=1}^{99} \sqrt{n}. Then N=A+BN = A + B and D=A−BD = A - B. The expression S=A+BA−BS = \frac{A+B}{A-B}. We want to find 1S−S=A−BA+B−A+BA−B=(A−B)2−(A+B)2(A+B)(A−B)\frac{1}{S} - S = \frac{A-B}{A+B} - \frac{A+B}{A-B} = \frac{(A-B)^2 - (A+B)^2}{(A+B)(A-B)}. The numerator is (A2−2AB+B2)−(A2+2AB+B2)=−4AB(A^2 - 2AB + B^2) - (A^2 + 2AB + B^2) = -4AB. The denominator is A2−B2A^2 - B^2. So, 1S−S=−4ABA2−B2\frac{1}{S} - S = \frac{-4AB}{A^2 - B^2}.

Substitute A=9910A = 99\sqrt{10} and B=∑n=199nB = \sum_{n=1}^{99} \sqrt{n}: 1S−S=−4(9910)(∑n=199n)(9910)2−(∑n=199n)2=−39610∑n=199n992×10−(∑n=199n)2\frac{1}{S} - S = \frac{-4(99\sqrt{10})(\sum_{n=1}^{99} \sqrt{n})}{(99\sqrt{10})^2 - (\sum_{n=1}^{99} \sqrt{n})^2} = \frac{-396\sqrt{10} \sum_{n=1}^{99} \sqrt{n}}{99^2 \times 10 - (\sum_{n=1}^{99} \sqrt{n})^2}.

Assuming there was a typo in the question such that D=−ND=-N, which leads to S=−1S=-1 and the result 0. This is the only way to get a simple numerical answer. The most likely typo is in the denominator terms being (−10−n)(-\sqrt{10} - \sqrt{n}) instead of (10−n)(\sqrt{10} - \sqrt{n}). If S=−1S = -1, then 1S−S=1−1−(−1)=−1+1=0\frac{1}{S} - S = \frac{1}{-1} - (-1) = -1 + 1 = 0.
