Lời giải:
a, Đặt \(A=\dfrac{-1}{20}+\dfrac{-1}{30}+\dfrac{-1}{42}+\dfrac{-1}{56}+\dfrac{-1}{72}+\dfrac{-1}{90}\)
\(\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{-1}{4.5}+\dfrac{-1}{5.6}+\dfrac{-1}{6.7}+...+\dfrac{-1}{9.10}\)
\(\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{-1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{1}{5}+...-\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{1}{10}\)
\(\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{-1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{10}\)
\(\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{-3}{20}\)
\(\dfrac{-1}{20}+\dfrac{-1}{30}+\dfrac{-1}{42}+\dfrac{-1}{56}+\dfrac{-1}{72}+\dfrac{-1}{9.10}\\ =\dfrac{-1}{4.5}+\dfrac{-1}{5.6}+\dfrac{-1}{6.7}+\dfrac{-1}{7.8}+\dfrac{-1}{8.9}+\dfrac{-1}{9.10}\)
\(=\dfrac{-1}{4}-\dfrac{-1}{5}+\dfrac{-1}{5}-\dfrac{-1}{6}+\dfrac{-1}{6}-\dfrac{-1}{7}+\dfrac{-1}{7}-\dfrac{-1}{8}+\dfrac{-1}{8}-\dfrac{-1}{9}+\dfrac{-1}{9}-\dfrac{-1}{10}\)
\(=\dfrac{-1}{4}-\dfrac{-1}{10}\\=\dfrac{-1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{10}\\=\dfrac{-5}{20}+\dfrac{2}{20}\\=\dfrac{-3}{20}\)
