Question

Tính tổng: \(B=\dfrac{1}{1\cdot2\cdot3}+\dfrac{1}{2\cdot3\cdot4}+\dfrac{1}{3\cdot4\cdot5}+...+\dfrac{1}{n\left(n+1\right)\left(n+2\right)}\)

Làm theo hướng dẫn: \(\dfrac{1}{k\left(k+1\right)\left(k+2\right)}=\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{k}+\dfrac{1}{k+2}\right)-\dfrac{1}{k+1}\)

Answer 1

Lời giải:
Ta có: \(\frac{1}{k(k+1)(k+2)}=\frac{1}{2}.\frac{2}{k(k+1)(k+2)}=\frac{1}{2}.\frac{(k+2)-k}{k(k+1)(k+2)}\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{k+2}{k(k+1)(k+2)}-\frac{k}{k(k+1)(k+2)}\right)=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{k(k+1)}-\frac{1}{(k+1)(k+2)}\right)\)

Áp dụng vào bài toán:

\(\frac{1}{1.2.3}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{1.2}-\frac{1}{2.3}\right)\)

\(\frac{1}{2.3.4}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2.3}-\frac{1}{3.4}\right)\)

\(\frac{1}{3.4.5}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{3.4}-\frac{1}{4.5}\right)\)

.......

\(\frac{1}{n(n+1)(n+2)}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{n(n+1)}-\frac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)}\right)\)

\(\Rightarrow B=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{1.2}-\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{2.3}-\frac{1}{3.4}+\frac{1}{3.4}-\frac{1}{4.5}+...+\frac{1}{n(n+1)}-\frac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)}\right)\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{1.2}-\frac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)}\right)=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{2(n+1)(n+2)}\)
