straight T subscript 98 equals 1 half open square brackets fraction numerator 1 over denominator 98 cross times 99 end fraction minus fraction numerator 1 over denominator 99 cross times 100 end fraction close square brackets
fraction numerator 1 over denominator 1 cross times 2 cross times 3 end fraction plus fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 cross times 3 cross times 4 end fraction plus... plus fraction numerator 1 over denominator 98 cross times 99 cross times 100 end fraction equals 1 half open square brackets fraction numerator 1 over denominator 1 cross times 2 end fraction minus fraction numerator 1 over denominator 99 cross times 100 end fraction close square brackets equals 1 half open square brackets fraction numerator 4950 minus 1 over denominator 9900 end fraction close square brackets equals 4949 over 19800 equals straight a over straight b
Therefore comma space straight b minus straight a equals 14851
