Question

Chứng minh rằng với mọi số tự nhiên \(n\ge2\) :

\(A=\dfrac{1}{2^2}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}+\dfrac{1}{4^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{n^2}< \dfrac{2}{3}\)

Answer 1

k² > k² - 1 = (k-1)(k+1)
⇒ 1/k² < 1/[(k-1).(k+1)] = [1/(k-1) - 1/(k+1)]/2 (*)

Áp dụng (*), ta có:
1/2² + 1/3² + 1/4² + ... + 1/n²
< 1/2² + 1/(2.4) + 1/(3.5) + ... + 1/[(n-1).(n+1)]
= 1/2² + [1/2 - 1/4 + 1/3 - 1/5 + ... + 1/(n-1) - 1/(n+1)]/2
= 1/2² + [1/2 + 1/3 - 1/n - 1/(n+1)]/2
= 2/3 - [1/n + 1/(n+1)]/2 < 2/3

Answer 2

\(A=\dfrac{1}{2^2}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{n^2}< \dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{2.3}+...+\dfrac{1}{\left(n-1\right).n}=\dfrac{1}{1}-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+...+\dfrac{1}{\left(n-1\right)}-\dfrac{1}{n}=1-\dfrac{1}{n}\le1-\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}< \dfrac{2}{3}\)

\(\Rightarrow\)đpcm
