Đặt A = \(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{2^3}+....+\frac{1}{2^{20}}\)
=> 2A = 1 + \(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+....+\frac{1}{2^{19}}\)
=> 2A - A = A = 1 - \(\frac{1}{2^{20}}\)<1
\(2A=1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^3}+...+\frac{1}{2^{19}}\)
\(2A-A=\left(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{2^3}+...+\frac{1}{2^{19}}\right)-\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{2^3}+...+\frac{1}{2^{20}}\right)\)
\(A=1-\frac{1}{2^{20}}\)
\(vì\) \(1-\frac{1}{2^{20}}< 1\)\(nên\)\(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{2^3}+...+\frac{1}{20^{20}}< 1\)
