\(S=\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{41}+\dfrac{1}{42}\)
Ta có :
+) \(\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{1}{10}< \dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{8}\)
+) \(\dfrac{1}{41}+\dfrac{1}{42}< \dfrac{1}{40}+\dfrac{1}{40}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow S< \dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{40}+\dfrac{1}{40}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow S< \dfrac{1}{2}\)
Vậy,,,
Ta có: \(\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{1}{10}< \dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{2}{8}=\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{41}+\dfrac{1}{42}< \dfrac{1}{40}+\dfrac{1}{40}=\dfrac{2}{40}=\dfrac{1}{20}\)
Do đó: \(\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{41}+\dfrac{1}{42}< \dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{20}=\dfrac{6}{20}=\dfrac{3}{10}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{41}+\dfrac{1}{42}< \dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{2}{10}=\dfrac{1}{2}\)
hay \(S< \dfrac{1}{2}\)(đpcm)
