Question

a) Chứng minh :

                        \(\dfrac{1}{x}-\dfrac{1}{x+1}=\dfrac{1}{x\left(x+1\right)}\)

b) Đố :

Đố em tính nhẩm được tổng sau :

\(\dfrac{1}{x\left(x+1\right)}+\dfrac{1}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}+\dfrac{1}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}+\dfrac{1}{\left(x+3\right)\left(x+4\right)}+\dfrac{1}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}+\dfrac{1}{x+5}\)

Answer 1

a.\(\dfrac{1}{x}\)-\(\dfrac{1}{x+1}\)=\(\dfrac{x+1}{x\left(x+1\right)}\)-\(\dfrac{x}{x\left(x+1\right)}\)=\(\dfrac{x+1-x}{x\left(x+1\right)}\)=\(\dfrac{1}{x\left(x+1\right)}\)

b. Ta có:

\(\dfrac{1}{x\left(x+1\right)}\)= \(\dfrac{\left(x+1\right)-x}{x\left(x+1\right)}\)=\(\dfrac{x+1}{x\left(x+1\right)}\)-\(\dfrac{x}{x\left(x+1\right)}\)=\(\dfrac{1}{x}\)-\(\dfrac{1}{x+1}\)

Ta lại có:

\(\dfrac{1}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}\)=\(\dfrac{1}{x+1}\)-\(\dfrac{1}{x+2}\);

\(\dfrac{1}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}\)=\(\dfrac{1}{x+2}\)-\(\dfrac{1}{x+3}\);

\(\dfrac{1}{\left(x+3\right)\left(x+4\right)}\)=\(\dfrac{1}{x+3}\)-\(\dfrac{1}{x+4}\);

\(\dfrac{1}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}\)=\(\dfrac{1}{x+4}\)-\(\dfrac{1}{x+5}\);

Do đó:

\(\dfrac{1}{x\left(x+1\right)}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{\left(x+3\right)\left(x+4\right)}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{x+5}\) = \(\dfrac{1}{x}\)-\(\dfrac{1}{x+1}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{x+1}\)-\(\dfrac{1}{x+2}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{x+2}\)-...... -\(\dfrac{1}{x+5}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{x+5}\)=\(\dfrac{1}{x}\)

Vậy tổng trên bằng \(\dfrac{1}{x}\)
