Đặt \(A=\dfrac{1}{41}+\dfrac{1}{42}+\dfrac{1}{43}+\dfrac{1}{44}+...+\dfrac{1}{80}\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{1}{41}+\dfrac{1}{42}+...+\dfrac{1}{60}\right)+\) \(\left(\dfrac{1}{61}+\dfrac{1}{62}+...+\dfrac{1}{80}\right)\)
Nhận xét:
\(\dfrac{1}{41}+\dfrac{1}{42}+...+\dfrac{1}{60}>\dfrac{1}{60}+\dfrac{1}{60}+...+\dfrac{1}{60}\) \(=\dfrac{1}{3}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{61}+\dfrac{1}{62}+...+\dfrac{1}{80}>\dfrac{1}{80}+\dfrac{1}{80}+...+\dfrac{1}{80}\) \(=\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(\Rightarrow A>\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{7}{12}>\dfrac{1}{12}\)
Vậy \(\dfrac{1}{41}+\dfrac{1}{42}+\dfrac{1}{43}+...+\dfrac{1}{80}>\dfrac{1}{12}\) (Đpcm)
