Question

Chứng minh rằng \(2\left(\sqrt{n+1}-\sqrt{n}\right)< \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}< 2\left(\sqrt{n}-\sqrt{n-1}\right)\) (với \(n\in N^{\cdot}\))

Áp dụng cho S = \(1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}+...+\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}\)

Chứng minh 18<S<19 ?

Answer 1

Lời giải:

Liên hợp ta thấy:

\(2(\sqrt{n+1}-\sqrt{n})=2.\frac{(n+1)-n}{\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n}}<\frac{2}{\sqrt{n}+\sqrt{n}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}(1)\)

\(2(\sqrt{n}-\sqrt{n-1})=2.\frac{n-(n-1)}{\sqrt{n}+\sqrt{n-1}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{n}+\sqrt{n-1}}>\frac{2}{\sqrt{n}+\sqrt{n}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}(2)\)

Từ \((1);(2)\Rightarrow 2(\sqrt{n+1}-\sqrt{n})< \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}< 2(\sqrt{n}-\sqrt{n-1})\)

------------------------

Áp dụng vào bài toán:

\(S=1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+...+\frac{1}{\sqrt{100}}>1+2(\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2})+2(\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{3})+...+2(\sqrt{101}-\sqrt{100})\)

\(\Leftrightarrow S>1+2(\sqrt{101}-\sqrt{2})>18(*)\)

Và:

\(S< 1+2(\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{1})+2(\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2})+....+2(\sqrt{100}-\sqrt{99})\)

\(\Leftrightarrow S< 1+2(\sqrt{100}-\sqrt{1})=19(**)\)

Từ $(*); (**)$ suy ra $18< S< 19$ (đpcm)
