\(A=\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{3.4}+\dfrac{1}{5.6}+...+\dfrac{1}{99.100}\)
\(=1-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{1}{6}+...+\dfrac{1}{99}-\dfrac{1}{100}\)
\(=\left(1+\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{5}+...+\dfrac{1}{99}\right)-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{6}+...+\dfrac{1}{100}\right)\)
\(=\left(1+\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{6}+...+\dfrac{1}{99}+\dfrac{1}{100}\right)-2\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{6}+...+\dfrac{1}{100}\right)\)
\(=\left(1+\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}+...+\dfrac{1}{100}\right)-\left(1+\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}+...+\dfrac{1}{50}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{51}+\dfrac{1}{52}+...+\dfrac{1}{100}\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{1}{51}+\dfrac{1}{52}+...+\dfrac{1}{75}\right)+\left(\dfrac{1}{76}+\dfrac{1}{77}+...+\dfrac{1}{100}\right)\)
Ta có:
\(\dfrac{1}{51}+\dfrac{1}{52}+...+\dfrac{1}{75}>\dfrac{1}{75}+\dfrac{1}{75}+...+\dfrac{1}{75}=\dfrac{25}{75}=\dfrac{1}{3}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{76}+\dfrac{1}{77}+...+\dfrac{1}{100}>\dfrac{1}{100}+\dfrac{1}{100}+...+\dfrac{1}{100}=\dfrac{25}{100}=\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(\Rightarrow A>\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{7}{12}\) (1)
Lại có:
\(\dfrac{1}{51}+\dfrac{1}{52}+...+\dfrac{1}{75}< \dfrac{1}{50}+\dfrac{1}{50}+...+\dfrac{1}{50}=\dfrac{25}{50}=\dfrac{1}{2}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{76}+\dfrac{1}{77}+...+\dfrac{1}{100}< \dfrac{1}{75}+\dfrac{1}{75}+...+\dfrac{1}{75}=\dfrac{25}{75}=\dfrac{1}{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow A< \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{5}{6}\) (2)
Từ (1) và (2) suy ra \(\dfrac{7}{12}< A< \dfrac{5}{6}\)
