Ans: Given:
$f\left( x \right) = 1 + x + \dfrac{{{x^2}}}{2} + ... + \dfrac{{{x^{100}}}}{{100}}$
We know that,Differentiating the \[f\left( x \right)\] w.r.t \[x\]
Then, putting \[x = 1\] in the solved equation
Then,
\[{\text{ }}f\left( x \right) = 1 + x + \dfrac{{{x^2}}}{2} + ... + \dfrac{{{x^{100}}}}{{100}}\]
Differentiating the equation w.r.t \[x\]
\[{\text{ }}f\left( x \right)' = 0 + 1 + 2 \times \dfrac{x}{2} + ... + \dfrac{{{x^{100}}}}{{100}}\]
\[\therefore {\text{ }}f\left( x \right)' = 1 + x + {x^2} + ... + {x^{99}}\]
Now, putting \[x = 1\]in the solved equation
\[{\text{Now, }}f\left( x \right)' = 1 + 1 + 1 + ... + 1\left( {100{\text{ times}}} \right)\]
\[{\text{ }} = 100\]
