a) Đặt \(A=\frac{3}{2.5}+\frac{3}{5.8}+\frac{3}{8.11}+...+\frac{3}{17.20}\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{11}+...+\frac{1}{17}-\frac{1}{20}\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{20}< \frac{1}{2}\)
Vậy A<\(\frac{1}{2}\).
b) Đặt \(B=\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{3^2}+\frac{1}{4^2}+...+\frac{1}{100^2}\)
Ta có : \(\frac{1}{2^2}< \frac{1}{1.2}\)
\(\frac{1}{3^2}< \frac{1}{2.3}\)
\(\frac{1}{4^2}< \frac{1}{3.4}\)
...
\(\frac{1}{100^2}< \frac{1}{99.100}\)
\(\Rightarrow B< \frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{3.4}+...+\frac{1}{99.100}\)
\(B< 1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+...+\frac{1}{99}-\frac{1}{100}\)
\(B< 1-\frac{1}{100}< 1\)
Vậy \(B< 1\).
