Factor out x from the numerator of the fraction: \(x(x + 2x^3 + 3x^5 + \cdot \cdot \cdot + 1005x^{2009})\)

 

Now, factor out 2 from the denominator: \(2(x + 2x^3 + 3x^5 + \cdot \cdot \cdot + 1005x^{2009})\)

 

So we have \({x(x + 2x^3 + 3x^5 + \cdot \cdot \cdot + 1005x^{2009}) \over 2(x + 2x^3 + 3x^5 + \cdot \cdot \cdot + 1005x^{2009})} = \color{brown}\boxed{x \over 2}\)

Suppose that the expression equals y. 

Dividing by x gives us, (x^2 + 2x^4 +... + 1005x^(2010))/(2x^2 + 4x^4 +... + 2010x^(2010)). This gives us a value of 1/2. 

1/2 divided by x gives us \( \frac{1}{2x} \)
