Ta có: \(\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{31}+\frac{1}{44}+\frac{1}{61}+\frac{1}{84}+\frac{1}{96}.\)
\(=\frac{1}{5}+\left(\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{31}+\frac{1}{44}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{61}+\frac{1}{84}+\frac{1}{96}\right)\)
Ta thấy \(\frac{1}{14}< \frac{1}{12}\)
\(\frac{1}{31}< \frac{1}{12}\)
\(\frac{1}{44}< \frac{1}{12}\)
\(=>\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{31}+\frac{1}{44}< \frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{12}\)
\(=>\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{31}+\frac{1}{44}< \frac{1}{12}.3\left(1\right)\)
Ta lại thấy \(\frac{1}{61}< \frac{1}{60}\)
\(\frac{1}{84}< \frac{1}{60}\)
\(\frac{1}{96}< \frac{1}{60}\)
\(=>\frac{1}{61}+\frac{1}{84}+\frac{1}{96}< \frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{60}\)
\(=>\frac{1}{61}+\frac{1}{84}+\frac{1}{96}< \frac{1}{60}.3\left(2\right)\)
Từ (1) và (2) suy ra: \(\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{31}+\frac{1}{44}+\frac{1}{61}+\frac{1}{84}+\frac{1}{96}< \frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{12}.3+\frac{1}{60}.3\)
\(=>\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{31}+\frac{1}{44}+\frac{1}{61}+\frac{1}{84}+\frac{1}{96}< \frac{1}{5}+3.\left(\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{60}\right)\)
\(=>\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{31}+\frac{1}{44}+\frac{1}{61}+\frac{1}{84}+\frac{1}{96}< \frac{1}{2}\)
\(=>Đpcm\)
