Answer:


f(20)=(505)/(2)

Explanation:

We want to find
f(20) where
f(x)=(1)/(x)+(2)/(x)+(3)/(x)+\cdots+(100)/(x)


f(20)=(1)/(20)+(2)/(20)+(3)/(20)+\cdots (100)/(20)


f(20)=(1)/(20)(1+2+3+\cdots+100)

We can use the following formula here:


1+2+3+\cdots+n=(n(n+1))/(2)

So since
n=100 we have:


f(20)=(1)/(20)((100(100+1))/(2))


f(20)=(1)/(20)((100(101))/(2))


f(20)=(1)/(20)(50(101))


f(20)=(50)/(20)(101)


f(20)=(5)/(2)(101)


f(20)=(505)/(2)
