Vedclass · Answer

(D) The $k$-th term of the series is $a_k = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2k-1} + \sqrt{2k+1}}$.Rationalizing the denominator,we get $a_k = \frac{\sqrt{2k+1} - \sqrt{2k-1}}{(2k+1) - (2k-1)} = \frac{\sqrt{2k+1} - \sqrt{2k-1}}{2}$.The sum of $n$ terms is $S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} a_k = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{k=1}^{n} (\sqrt{2k+1} - \sqrt{2k-1})$.This is a telescoping series: $S_n = \frac{1}{2} [(\sqrt{3} - 1) + (\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}) + \dots + (\sqrt{2n+1} - \sqrt{2n-1})]$.All intermediate terms cancel out,leaving $S_n = \frac{1}{2} (\sqrt{2n+1} - 1)$.
