Question

cho A=1/1x2x3+1/2x3x4+...+1/18x19x20. CMR:A<1/4

Answer 1

\(A=\frac{1}{1.2.3}+\frac{1}{2.3.4}+...+\frac{1}{18.19.20}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2}{1.2.3}+\frac{2}{2.3.4}+...+\frac{2}{18.19.20}\right)\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{1.2}-\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{2.3}-\frac{1}{3.4}+...+\frac{1}{18.19}-\frac{1}{19.20}\right)=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{1.2}-\frac{1}{19.20}\right)\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{380}\right)=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{760}< \frac{1}{4}\)(ĐPCM)
