Aha! On my phone only first three factors are shown, not even any hint regarding how many of them are there, so I was very intrigued when 0.75 turned out to be wrong))
Same here...and couldn't swipe right to extend :(
Same here, I couldn't see the rest. 😂
I too could neither see the question nor get any hint of how many terms were there
( 1 − 1 / 1 0 ) ( 1 − 1 / 1 1 ) ( 1 − 1 / 1 2 ) . . . ( 1 − 1 / 9 9 ) ( 1 − 1 / 1 0 0 ) = ( 1 0 9 ) ( 1 1 1 0 ) ( 1 2 1 1 ) . . . ( 9 9 9 8 ) ( 1 0 0 9 9 ) = 1 0 0 × 9 9 × 9 8 × . . . 1 1 × 1 0 9 9 × 9 8 × 9 7 × . . . 1 0 × 9 = 9 ! 1 0 0 ! 8 ! 9 9 ! = 1 0 0 ! 8 ! 9 9 ! 9 ! = 0 . 0 9
99!9!/100!8! is not correct
the given sequence can be written as:
(9/10)(10/11)(11/12)........(98/99)(99/100)
= 9/100
= 0.09
=(1 - 1/10)(1 - 1/11)(1 - 1/12)...(1 - 1/99)(1 - 1/100) = (9/10)(10/11)(11/12)...(98/99)(99/100) = 9/100 : simplify final answer=0.09
It's a telescopic sequence once simplified.
Another Solution (By using AM-GM inequalities)
let a i = (1- 9 + i 1 ) this simplifies to a i = ( 9 + i 8 + i )
n=91

An informal solution:
Expanding out the expression gives us,
1 0 9 × 1 1 1 0 × ⋯ × 9 9 9 8 × 1 0 0 9 9
After cancellation of like terms, we are left with the answer 1 0 0 9 = 0 . 0 9
The same solution (Presented in a formal manner):
The given product can be expressed and evaluated using product notation as follows:
i = 1 0 ∏ 1 0 0 ( 1 − i 1 ) = i = 1 0 ∏ 1 0 0 ( i i − 1 ) = i = 1 0 ∏ 1 0 0 i i = 1 0 ∏ 1 0 0 ( i − 1 ) = 1 0 0 × i = 1 0 ∏ 9 9 i 9 × i = 1 0 ∏ 9 9 i = 1 0 0 9 = 0 . 0 9
