amp;f(x)=2x2x+2amp;f(x)+f(1−x)=2x2x+2+21−x21−x+2amp;=2x2x+2+22+22x=2x+22x+2=1\begin{aligned}& f(x)=\frac{2^x}{2^x+\sqrt{2}} \\& f(x)+f(1-x)=\frac{2^x}{2^x+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{2^{1-x}}{2^{1-x}+\sqrt{2}} \\& =\frac{2^x}{2^x+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{2}{2+\sqrt{2} 2^x}=\frac{2^x+\sqrt{2}}{2^x+\sqrt{2}}=1\end{aligned}

 Now, ∑k=181f(k82)=f(182)+f(282)+……+f(8182)=f(182)+f(282)+…….+f(1−282)+f(1−182)=[f(182)+f(1−182)]+[f(282)+f(1−282)]+…..40 cases +f(4182)\begin{array}{r}\text { Now, } \sum_{\mathrm{k}=1}^{81} \mathrm{f}\left(\frac{\mathrm{k}}{82}\right)=\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{1}{82}\right)+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{2}{82}\right)+\ldots \ldots+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{81}{82}\right) \\=\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{1}{82}\right)+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{2}{82}\right)+\ldots \ldots .+\mathrm{f}\left(1-\frac{2}{82}\right)+\mathrm{f}\left(1-\frac{1}{82}\right) \\=\left[\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{1}{82}\right)+\mathrm{f}\left(1-\frac{1}{82}\right)\right]+\left[\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{2}{82}\right)+\mathrm{f}\left(1-\frac{2}{82}\right)\right]+\ldots . .40 \text { cases }+\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{41}{82}\right)\end{array}
