Answer» Given : x = (-1)¹ + (-1)² + (-1)³ + . + . + . + . + (-1)²⁰⁰⁹ y = (-1)¹ - (-1)² + (-1)³ + . - . + . - . + (-1)²⁰⁰⁹ To FIND : x - y (A) 2009 (B) 2008 (C)0 (D) 1004 Solution: x = (-1)¹ + (-1)² + (-1)³ + . + . + . + . + (-1)²⁰⁰⁹ => x = - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 + . + . + . + . - 1 => x = - 1 y = (-1)¹ - (-1)² + (-1)³ + . - . + . - . + (-1)²⁰⁰⁹ => y = - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - . - - . - - 1 => y = - 2009 x - y = - 1 - (-2009) = - 1 + 2009 = 2008 Learn More: find x - y.
