Đặt \(A=\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{6}}+...+\frac{1}{\sqrt{79}+\sqrt{80}}\)
Ta có: \(\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}>\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}\right)\)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}}>\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{4}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{5}}\right)\)
...
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{79}+\sqrt{80}}>\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{79}+\sqrt{80}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{80}+\sqrt{81}}\right)\)
Cộng các bất đẳng thức trên lại với nhau, ta được:
\(A>\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{1+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}+...+\frac{1}{\sqrt{80}+\sqrt{81}}\right)\)
\(\Leftrightarrow A>\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{2-1}+\frac{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}{3-2}+...+\frac{\sqrt{81}-\sqrt{80}}{81-80}\right)\)
\(\Leftrightarrow A>\frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{2}-1+\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}+...+\sqrt{81}-\sqrt{80}\right)\)
\(\Leftrightarrow A>\frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{81}-1\right)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\left(9-1\right)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot8=4\)
\(\Leftrightarrow A>4\)(đpcm)
