1003

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is a classic example of a telescoping series of products, a series in which each term is represented in a certain form such that the multiplication of most of the terms results in a massive cancelation of subsequent terms within the numerators and denominators of the series.

The simplest form of a telescoping product $a_{k} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{k}}{t_{k+1}}$ , in which the products of n terms is

$a_{1} \ \times \ a_{2} \ \times \ a_{3} \ \times \ \cdots \times \ a_{n-1} \ \times \ a_{n} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{1}}{t_{2}} \ \times \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{2}}{t_{3}} \ \times \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{3}}{t_{4}} \ \times \ \cdots \ \times \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{n-1}}{t_{n}} \ \times \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{n}}{t_{n+1}} \\ \\ \-\hspace{5.55cm} = \ \displaystyle\frac{t_{1}}{t_{n+1}}.$ .

In this particular case, $t_{1} \ = \ 2$ , $t_{2} \ = \ 3$ , $t_{3} \ = \ 4$ , ..... , in which each term follows a recursive formula of $t_{n+1} \ = \ t_{n} \ + \ 1$ . Therefore,

$\displaystyle\frac{t_{2}}{t_{1}} \times \displaystyle\frac{t_{3}}{t_{2}} \times \displaystyle\frac{t_{4}}{t_{3}} \times \cdots \times \displaystyle\frac{t_{n}}{t_{n-1}} \times \displaystyle\frac{t_{n+1}}{t_{n}} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{3}{2} \times \displaystyle\frac{4}{3} \times \displaystyle\frac{5}{4} \times \cdots \times \displaystyle\frac{2005}{2004} \times \displaystyle\frac{2006}{2005} \\ \\ \-\hspace{5.95cm} = \ \displaystyle\frac{2006}{2} \\ \\ \-\hspace{5.95cm} = 1003$

Answer from: Quest

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.

Answer from: Quest

This is what i found “an explicit formula designates the nth term of the sequence, as an expression of n (where n = the term's location). it defines the sequence as a formula in terms of n. this example is an arithmetic sequence(the same number, 5, is added to each term to get to the next term).” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?

Five dinosaurs go for a walk and come across some lovely chicken wings. their names are rexy, bronto, steggy, paly, and terry. there are exactly 5 dozen wings(equal enough for each dino to have a dozen right? ); however, terry is on a diet and he only eats 6 wings. if paly eats 2 more than terry, steggy eats 4 more than paly, and bronto and rexy eat the same amount because they are really hungry from not eating all day, how many chicken wings did each dino eat?
