Question

Thực hiện phép tính:

\(\dfrac{1}{x\left(x+1\right)}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}\) + \(\dfrac{1}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}\) + ... + \(\dfrac{1}{\left(x+2017\right)\left(x+2018\right)}\)

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{1}{x\left(x+1\right)}+\dfrac{1}{\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)}+....+\dfrac{1}{\left(x+2017\right)\left(x+2018\right)}\\ =\dfrac{1}{x}-\dfrac{1}{x+1}+\dfrac{1}{x+1}-\dfrac{1}{x+2}+...+\dfrac{1}{x+2017}-\dfrac{1}{x+2018}\\ =\dfrac{1}{x}-\dfrac{1}{x+2018}\\ =\dfrac{2018}{x\left(x+2018\right)}\)

Answer 2

\(=\dfrac{1}{x}-\dfrac{1}{x+1}+\dfrac{1}{x+1}-\dfrac{1}{x+2}+...+\dfrac{1}{x+2016}-\dfrac{1}{x+2017}+\dfrac{1}{x+2017}-\dfrac{1}{x+2018}\)

\(=\dfrac{1}{x}-\dfrac{1}{x+2018}\)

\(=\dfrac{2018}{x\left(x+2018\right)}\)
