Đặt \(A=\dfrac{1}{1\cdot2}+\dfrac{1}{2\cdot3}+...+\dfrac{1}{7\cdot8}\)
Dễ thấy: \(B=\dfrac{1}{2^2}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{8^2}\)\(< A=\dfrac{1}{1\cdot2}+\dfrac{1}{2\cdot3}+...+\dfrac{1}{7\cdot8}\left(1\right)\)
Ta có:\(A=\dfrac{1}{1\cdot2}+\dfrac{1}{2\cdot3}+...+\dfrac{1}{7\cdot8}\)
\(=1-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+...+\dfrac{1}{7}-\dfrac{1}{8}\)
\(=1-\dfrac{1}{8}< 1\left(2\right)\)
Từ \((1);(2)\) ta có: \(B< A< 1\Rightarrow B< 1\)
