Question

CHO S= 1/2+(1/2)^2+(1/2)^3+(1/2)^4+...+(1/2)^2016+(1/2)^2017.CHỨNG MINH S<1

 

Answer 1

Ta có :

\(S=\frac{1}{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4+...+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2016}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2017}\)

\(2S=1+\frac{1}{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3+...+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2015}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2016}\)

\(2S-S=\left[1+\frac{1}{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3+...+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2015}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2016}\right]-\left[\frac{1}{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4+...+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2016}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2017}\right]\)

\(S=1-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2017}< 1\)
