Đặt \(A=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{3^2}+...+\frac{99}{3^{99}}-\frac{100}{3^{100}}\)
\(\Rightarrow3A=1-\frac{2}{3}+...+\frac{99}{3^{98}}-\frac{100}{3^{99}}\)
\(4A=1+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3^2}+...+\frac{1}{3^{98}}+\frac{1}{3^{99}}-\frac{100}{3^{100}}\)
Đặt \(B=1+\frac{1}{3}+...+\frac{1}{3^{99}}\)
\(\Rightarrow3B=3+1+...+\frac{3}{3^{98}}\)
\(2B=3-\frac{1}{3^{99}}\)
\(B=\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{3^{99}.2}\)
Thay B vào 4A ta có:
\(4A=\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{3^{99}.2}\)
\(A=\frac{3}{2.4}-\frac{1}{3^{99}.2.4}\)
\(A=\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{3^{99}.8}\)
Vì \(\frac{3}{8}>\frac{3}{16}\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{3^{99}.8}< \frac{3}{16}\)
Vậy \(A< \frac{3}{16}\)
