a)
Ta thấy:
\(\dfrac{1}{6}< \dfrac{1}{5}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{7}< \dfrac{1}{5}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{8}< \dfrac{1}{5}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{9}< \dfrac{1}{5}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{11}< \dfrac{1}{10}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{12}< \dfrac{1}{10}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{13}< \dfrac{1}{10}\)
...
\(\dfrac{1}{17}< \dfrac{1}{10}\)
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{7}+...+\dfrac{1}{17}< 5\cdot\dfrac{1}{5}+8\cdot\dfrac{1}{10}=1+\dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{9}{5}< 2\)
Vậy \(\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{7}+...+\dfrac{1}{17}< 2\)
b)
Ta thấy:
\(\dfrac{1}{101}>\dfrac{1}{300}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{102}>\dfrac{1}{300}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{103}>\dfrac{1}{300}\)
...
\(\dfrac{1}{299}>\dfrac{1}{300}\)
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{101}+\dfrac{1}{102}+\dfrac{1}{103}+...+\dfrac{1}{300}>200\cdot\dfrac{1}{300}=\dfrac{2}{3}\)
Vậy \(\dfrac{1}{101}+\dfrac{1}{102}+\dfrac{1}{103}+...+\dfrac{1}{300}>\dfrac{2}{3}\)
