\(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{30}+\dfrac{1}{42}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{1\cdot2}+\dfrac{1}{2\cdot3}+\dfrac{1}{3\cdot4}+\dfrac{1}{4\cdot5}+\dfrac{1}{5\cdot6}+\dfrac{1}{6\cdot7}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{1}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}\cdot\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}\cdot\dfrac{1}{7}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{1}-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}-\dfrac{1}{7}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{1}-\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{7}{7}-\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{6}{7}\)
