Question
$\sum {{1 \over {1 + {x^{a - b}} + {x^{a - c}}}} = } $

Answer

a
(a)  $\sum\limits_{}^{} {{1 \over {1 + {x^{a - b}} + {x^{a - c}}}} = \sum\limits_{}^{} {{{{x^{b + c}}} \over {{x^{b + c}} + {x^{c + a}} + {x^{a + b}}}}} } $

= ${1 \over {{x^{b + c}} + {x^{c + a}} + {x^{a + b}}}}\sum\limits_{}^{} {{x^{b + c}}} $

= ${1 \over {{x^{b + c}} + {x^{c + a}} + {x^{a + b}}}}\,({x^{b + c}} + {x^{c + a}} + {x^{a + b}}) = 1$.

Some identical balls are arranged in rows to form an equilateral triangle. The first row consists of one ball, the second row consists of two balls and so on. If $99$ more identical balls are added to the total number of balls used in forming the equilateral triangle, then all these balls can be arranged in a square whose each side contains exactly $2$ balls less than the number of balls each side of the triangle contains. Then the number of balls used to form the equilateral triangle is
