Prove that:
$\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{5}}\\+\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{6}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{7}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{8}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{9}}=2$

Answer

$\text{L.H.S.}=\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{5}}\\+\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{6}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{7}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{8}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{9}}$
$=\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{1-\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}\times\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}}\\\times\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{4}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{5}}\times\frac{\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{5}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{6}}\times\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{6}}\\+\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{7}}\times\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{7}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{8}}\times\frac{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{8}}{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{8}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{9}}\times\frac{\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{9}}$
$=\frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{1-\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^2}+\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}{\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^2-\big(\sqrt{3}\big)^2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{4}}{\big(\sqrt{3}\big)^2-\big(\sqrt{4}\big)^2}\\+\frac{\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{5}}{\big(\sqrt{4}\big)^2-\big(\sqrt{5}\big)^2}+\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{6}}{\big(\sqrt{5}\big)^2-\big(\sqrt{6}\big)^2}+\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{7}}{\big(\sqrt{6}\big)^2-\big(\sqrt{7}\big)^2}\\+\frac{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{8}}{\big(\sqrt{7}\big)^2-\big(\sqrt{8}\big)^2}+\frac{\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{9}}{\big(\sqrt{8}\big)^2-\big(\sqrt{9}\big)^2}$
$=\frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{1-2}+\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}{2-3}+\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{4}}{3-4}+\frac{\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{5}}{4-5}\\\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{6}}{5-6}+\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{7}}{6-7}+\frac{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{8}}{7-8}+\frac{\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{9}}{8-9}$
$=\frac{1-\sqrt{2}}{-1}+\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}{-1}+\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{4}}{-1}+\frac{\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{5}}{-1}\\\frac{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{6}}{-1}+\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{7}}{-1}+\frac{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{8}}{-1}+\frac{\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{9}}{-1}$
$=-1+\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{5}\\+\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{8}-\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{9}-\sqrt{9}$
$=-1+3$
$=2$
$=\text{R.H.S.}$

A teacher wanted to analyse the performance of two sections of students in a mathematics test of 100 marks. Looking at their performances, she found that a few students got under 20 marks and a few got 70 marks or above. So she decided to group them into intervals of varying sizes as follows: 0 - 20, 20 - 30, . . ., 60 - 70, 70 - 100. Then she formed the following table:

Marks Number of students
0 - 20 7
20 - 30 10
30 - 40 10
40 - 50 20
50 - 60 20
60 - 70 15
70 - above 8
Total 90
