Question

Cho tổng S = 1/2^2 + 1/3^2 +1/4^2 +... + 1/(n - 1)^2 +1/n^2. Chứng tỏ rằng S<1

Answer 1

Ta có: \(\frac{1}{2^2}< \frac{1}{1.2};\frac{1}{3^2}< \frac{1}{2.3};...;\frac{1}{n^2}< \frac{1}{\left(n-1\right)n}\)

\(\Rightarrow S< \frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+...+\frac{1}{\left(n-1\right)n}=1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+...+\frac{1}{n-1}-\frac{1}{n}=1-\frac{1}{n}< 1\)

Vậy S<1

Answer 2

Ta có :

\(\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{3^2}+\frac{1}{4^2}+...+\frac{1}{\left(n-1\right)^2}+\frac{1}{n^2}< \frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{3.4}+...+\frac{1}{\left(n-2\right)\left(n-1\right)}+\frac{1}{\left(n-1\right)n}\)

\(\Rightarrow S< 1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+...+\frac{1}{n-2}-\frac{1}{n-1}+\frac{1}{n-1}-\frac{1}{n}\)

\(\Rightarrow S< 1-\frac{1}{n}< 1\)

Vậy \(S=1\)
