Question

1/(2.4) + 1/(4.6) + … + 1/[(2x – 2).2x] = 1/8 (x ∈ N, x ≥ 2)

Answer 1

Đặt \(A=\frac{1}{2.4}+\frac{1}{4.6}+...+\frac{1}{\left(2x-2\right).2x}\)

\(\Rightarrow A=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{6}+...+\frac{1}{2x-2}-\frac{1}{2x}\right)\)

\(\Rightarrow A=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2x}\right)\)

\(\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2x}\right)=\frac{1}{8}\)

\(\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2x}=\frac{1}{4}\)

\(\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2x}=\frac{1}{4}\)

\(\Rightarrow2x=4\)

\(\Rightarrow x=2\)

Answer 2

Đặt \(A=\frac{1}{2.4}+\frac{1}{4.6}+...+\frac{1}{\left(2x-2\right).2x}\)

\(\Rightarrow A=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{6}+...+\frac{1}{2x-2}-\frac{1}{2x}\right)\)

\(\Rightarrow A=\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2x}\right)\)

\(\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}.\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2x}\right)=\frac{1}{8}\)

\(\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2x}=\frac{1}{4}\)

\(\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2x}=\frac{1}{4}\)

\(\Rightarrow2x=4\)

\(\Rightarrow x=2\)
