Question

\(CMR:\) \(\frac{1.2-1}{2!}+\frac{2.3-1}{3!}+\frac{3.4-1}{4!}+...+\frac{99.100-1}{100!}\) \(< 2\)

Answer 1

\(\frac{1.2-1}{2!}+\frac{2.3-1}{3!}+\frac{3.4-1}{4!}+...+\frac{99.100-1}{100!}\)

\(=\frac{1.2}{2!}-\frac{1}{2!}+\frac{2.3}{3!}-\frac{1}{3!}+\frac{3.4}{4!}-\frac{1}{4!}\)\(+...+\frac{99.100}{100!}-\frac{1}{100!}\)

\(=\left(\frac{1.2}{2!}+\frac{2.3}{3!}+\frac{3.4}{4!}+...+\frac{99.100}{100!}\right)\)\(-\frac{1}{2!}-\frac{1}{3!}-\frac{1}{4!}-...-\frac{1}{100!}\)

\(=1+1+\frac{1}{2!}+...+\frac{1}{98!}-\frac{1}{2!}-\frac{1}{3!}-\frac{1}{4!}-...-\frac{1}{100!}\)

\(=2-\frac{1}{99!}-\frac{1}{100!}< 2\)

Answer 2

\(=1-\frac{1}{2!}+\frac{1}{1!}-\frac{1}{3!}+\frac{1}{2!}-\frac{1}{4!}+...+\frac{1}{98!}-\frac{1}{100!}\)

\(=2-\frac{1}{99!}-\frac{1}{100!}\)
