Evaluate the following sum:
1 × 2 + 2 × 1 1 + 2 × 3 + 3 × 2 1 + . . . + 9 9 9 9 × 1 0 0 0 0 + 1 0 0 0 0 × 9 9 9 9 1 .

Note that when you type 1 . 2 , the "." is extremely misleading. While there is slight context that it should not be interpreted as a decimal point, some people may think it is 1 . 2 . It is better to use \cdot or \times, which gives ⋅ or × respectively.

The \cdot still looks too much like a period. To illustrate that it is actually not a period, I put it in between two numbers: 1 ⋅ 2

If you are referring to my comment, those are actually periods, to reinforce my point. I didn't show \cdot ⋅ , because I generally prefer using \times ( × ), and I updated the problem statement accordingly (but not his solution).
Great !
Lol I got 99
good explanation
great
who invent maths?
0.99
Why u subtracting from 1...??
Why subtracting from 1??.
WRITE BACK THE EQUATION AS IN (1/K) +(1/(K+1)) FORM TO MAKE IT TELESCOPING SERIES, AND SUMMATION OF TELESCOPING SERIES IS UNITY

take first term which is equal to 1/sqrt of 1- 1/sqrt of 2 , same as second term is 1/sqrt of 2-1/sqrt of 3 and so on. therefore finally we get 1/sqrt of 1-1/sqrt of 10000= 0.99

Let a n = ( n + 1 ) n + n n + 1 1 . Then the sum we are looking for is equal to n = 1 ∑ 9 9 9 9 a n . We can express a n as n . ( n + 1 ) . ( n + n + 1 ) 1 .Then, multiplying the numerator and denominator by n + 1 − n we would get a n = n . ( n + 1 ) n + 1 − n = n 1 − n + 1 1 .So our series telescopes and our answer is 1 − 1 0 0 0 0 1 = 0 , 9 9
P.S.:Thank you Calvin for correcting the problem and adding a picture to it :D
