A sequence is defined as: U(n+1) = 1/U(n) where U(1)=2/3. Find the sum from r=(1-100) for U(r)

Un+1=1/Un where U1= 2/3First of all, we need to find U2 and U3 and so on, up until we notice a pattern in the answers. U2 = 1/(2/3) = 3/2U...

Find the indefinite integral of f(x)=(1-x^2)/(1+x^2)

Int() in this case will refer to integralsAnswer is: f(x)=(1-x^2)/(1+x^2)=(2-(1+x^2)/(1+x^2)=-1+2/(1+x^2)=> Int(f(x))=Int(-1+2/(1+x^2))=Int(-1)+2Int(1/(1+x^2))=-x+2tan^-1(x)+C
