Ta có : \(2A=2\left(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{2^3}+...+\frac{1}{2^{2017}}\right)\)
\(2A=2+\frac{2}{2}+\frac{2}{2^2}+\frac{2}{2^3}+...+\frac{2}{2^{2017}}\)
\(2A=2+1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+...+\frac{1}{2^{2016}}\)
\(\Rightarrow2A-A=\left(2+1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+...+\frac{1}{2^{2016}}\right)-\left(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+...+\frac{2}{2^{2016}}\right)\)
\(A=2+1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+...+\frac{1}{2^{2016}}-1-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2^2}-...-\frac{1}{2^{2016}}-\frac{1}{2^{2017}}\)
\(A=2-\frac{1}{2^{2017}}=\frac{2^{2018}-1}{2^{2017}}\)
Vậy A < 1
\(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{2^3}+...+\frac{1}{2^{2017}}\)
\(2A=2+1+\frac{1}{2}+...+\frac{1}{2^{2016}}\)
\(2A-A=\left(2+1+\frac{1}{2}+...+\frac{1}{2^{2016}}\right)-\left(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^3}+...+\frac{1}{2^{2017}}\right)\)
\(A=2-\frac{1}{2^{2017}}\left(đpcm\right)\)
