\(A=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{3^{2018}}+\dfrac{1}{3^{2019}}\)
\(3A=1+\dfrac{1}{3}+...+\dfrac{1}{3^{2017}}+\dfrac{1}{3^{2018}}\)
\(3A-A=\left(1+\dfrac{1}{3}+...+\dfrac{1}{3^{2018}}\right)-\left(\dfrac{1}{3}+...+\dfrac{1}{3^{2019}}\right)\)
\(2A=1-\dfrac{1}{3^{2019}}\)
\(A=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2\cdot3^{2019}}< \dfrac{1}{2}\) (DPCM)
\(3A=1+\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{3^{2017}}+\dfrac{1}{3^{2018}}\)
\(\Rightarrow3A-A=1-\dfrac{1}{3^{2019}}\)
\(\Rightarrow2A=1-\dfrac{1}{3^{2019}}\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2.3^{2019}}\)
\(\Rightarrow A< \dfrac{1}{2}\)
