Question

1.2+ 2.3+ 3.4+ ... +n(n+1)=\(\frac{n\left(n+1\right)\left(n+2\right)}{3}\)

Answer 1

- Với \(n=1\Rightarrow1.2=\frac{1.2.3}{3}\) (đúng)

- Giả sử đúng với \(n=k\) hay \(1.2+...+k\left(k+1\right)=\frac{k\left(k+1\right)\left(k+2\right)}{3}\)

Ta cần chứng minh nó đúng với \(n=k+1\) hay:

\(1.2+...+k\left(k+1\right)+\left(k+1\right)\left(k+2\right)=\frac{\left(k+1\right)\left(k+2\right)\left(k+3\right)}{3}\)

Thật vậy:

\(1.2+...+k\left(k+1\right)+\left(k+1\right)\left(k+2\right)\)

\(=\frac{k\left(k+1\right)\left(k+2\right)}{3}+\left(k+1\right)\left(k+2\right)\)

\(=\left(k+1\right)\left(k+2\right)\left[\frac{k}{3}+1\right]=\frac{\left(k+1\right)\left(k+2\right)\left(k+3\right)}{3}\) (đpcm)
