Đặt A=\(\frac{1}{3}\) - \(\frac{2}{3^2}\) +\(\frac{3}{3^3}\) - \(\frac{4}{3^4}\)+...+ \(\frac{99}{3^{99}}\) - \(\frac{100}{3^{100}}\)
=> 3A=1-\(\frac{2}{3}\) + \(\frac{3}{3^2}\) - \(\frac{4}{3^3}\)+...+\(\frac{99}{3^{98}}\) - \(\frac{100}{3^{99}}\)
=> 4A=1-\(\frac{1}{3}\)+\(\frac{1}{3^2}\)+...+\(\frac{1}{3^{98}}\) - \(\frac{1}{3^{99}}\)- \(\frac{100}{3^{100}}\)
=> 4A<1-\(\frac{1}{3}\)+\(\frac{1}{3^2}\)+...+\(\frac{1}{3^{98}}\) - \(\frac{1}{3^{99}}\) (1)
Đặt B=1-\(\frac{1}{3}\)+\(\frac{1}{3^2}\)+...+\(\frac{1}{3^{98}}\) - \(\frac{1}{3^{99}}\)
=> B=2+ \(\frac{1}{3}\) - \(\frac{1}{3^2}\) +...+\(\frac{1}{3^{97}}\) - \(\frac{1}{3^{98}}\)
=> 4B=B+3B=3-\(\frac{1}{3^{99}}\)<3 => A<\(\frac{3}{4}\) (2)
Từ (1) và (2) ta có: 4A<B<\(\frac{3}{4}\) => A<\(\frac{3}{16}\) => đpcm.
