Question

Cho A = 1/2^2 + 1/ 3^2 + 1/4^2 + ... + 1/2016^2 + 1/2017^2 . Chứng minh A - 1 < 0

Answer 1

\(A=\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{3^2}+\frac{1}{4^2}+...+\frac{1}{2016^2}+\frac{1}{2017^2}\)

\(A=\frac{1}{2.2}+\frac{1}{3.3}+\frac{1}{4.4}+...+\frac{1}{2016.2016}+\frac{1}{2017.2017}\)

Ta thấy \(\frac{1}{2.2}< \frac{1}{1.2};\frac{1}{3.3}< \frac{1}{2.3};\frac{1}{4.4}< \frac{1}{3.4};...;\frac{1}{2016.2016}< \frac{1}{2016.2017};\frac{1}{2017.2017}< \frac{1}{2017.2018}\)

Suy ra \(A< \frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{3.4}+...+\frac{1}{2016.2017}+\frac{1}{2017.2018}\)

Nên \(A< 1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}-...+\frac{1}{2017}-\frac{1}{2018}\)

Khi đó \(A< 1-\frac{1}{2018}< 1\)nên A < 1

Suy ra A - 1 < 0

Vậy A - 1 < 0
