Problem 1 Solution
Write
as an addition of a series of fractional powers of
and then again as a series of simplified fractions.
Powers of
: 
Simplified Fractions: 
Problem 2 Solution
Find the sum of


Problem 3 Solution
Try to find the product of

without performing the actual multiplication.

The denominator of each fraction cancels with the numerator of the fraction following it.
The denominator
in
cancels the numerator
in
etc.
The only 2 numbers that don't cancel are the numerator
in
and the denominator
in
leaving 
We can also rearrange the numerators to make 4 of the fractions equivalent to 

Problem 4 Solution
