Đặt A=\(\dfrac{1}{1.2.3}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{2.3.4}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{3.4.5}\)+...+\(\dfrac{1}{17.18.19}\)
2.A=2.(\(\dfrac{1}{1.2.3}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{2.3.4}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{3.4.5}\)+...+\(\dfrac{1}{17.18.19}\))
2. A=\(\dfrac{2}{1.2.3}\)+\(\dfrac{2}{2.3.4}\)+\(\dfrac{2}{3.4.5}\)+...+\(\dfrac{2}{17.18.19}\)
2.A=\(\dfrac{1}{1.2}\)-\(\dfrac{1}{2.3}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{2.3}\)-\(\dfrac{1}{3.4}\)+ ...+\(\dfrac{1}{17.18}\)-\(\dfrac{1}{18.19}\)
2.A=\(\dfrac{1}{1.2}\)-\(\dfrac{1}{18.19}\)=\(\dfrac{85}{171}\)
A=\(\dfrac{85}{171}\):2=\(\dfrac{85}{342}\)
Ta cũng có: \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) = \(\dfrac{171}{684}\); \(\dfrac{85}{342}\) = \(\dfrac{170}{684}\)
Vì 170 < 171 ( \(\dfrac{170}{684}\) < \(\dfrac{171}{684}\) )
Vậy \(\dfrac{1}{1.2.3}+\dfrac{1}{2.3.4}+\dfrac{1}{3.4.5}+...+\dfrac{1}{17.18.19}\) < \(\dfrac{1}{4}\)
