ta có 1/3^2 =1/3x3<1/2x3
1/4^2=1/4x4<1/3x4
..............................
1/21^2=1/21x21<1/20x21
suy ra ( 1/3^2+1/4^2+1/5^2+....+1/21^2)<(1/2x3+1/3x4+1/4x5+....+1/20x21)
(1/3^2+1/4^2+1/5^2+......+1/21^2)<(1/2-1/3+1/3-1/4+1/4-1/5+.......+1/20-1/21)
(1/3^2+1/4^2+1/5^2+.......+1/21^2)<(1/2-1/21)
(1/3^2+1/4^2+1/5^2+.......+1/21^2)<19/42
ta có 1/2=21/42
suy ra (1/3^2+1/4^2+1/5^2+....+1/21^2)<19/42<21/42
(1/3^2+1/4^2+1/5^2+.....+1/21^2)<19/42<1/2
suy ra ( 1/3^2+1/4^2+1/5^2+....+1/21^2)<1/2
Vậy A<1/2
\(A=\frac{1}{3^2}+\frac{1}{4^2}+\frac{1}{5^2}+...+\frac{1}{21^2}=\frac{1}{3.3}+\frac{1}{4.4}+\frac{1}{5.5}+...+\frac{1}{21.21}\)
\(< \frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{3.4}+\frac{1}{4.5}+...+\frac{1}{20.21}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{5}+...+\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{21}\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{21}< \frac{1}{2}\)
=> \(A< \frac{1}{2}\left(\text{ĐPCM}\right)\)
