Đặt \(A=\dfrac{1}{2^2}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}+\dfrac{1}{4^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{100^2}\)
\(B=\dfrac{1}{1\cdot2}+\dfrac{1}{2\cdot3}+\dfrac{1}{3\cdot4}+...+\dfrac{1}{99\cdot100}\)
Ta có: \(A=\dfrac{1}{2^2}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}+\dfrac{1}{4^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{100^2}< \)\(B=\dfrac{1}{1\cdot2}+\dfrac{1}{2\cdot3}+\dfrac{1}{3\cdot4}+...+\dfrac{1}{99\cdot100}\left(1\right)\)
Lại có: \(B=\dfrac{1}{1\cdot2}+\dfrac{1}{2\cdot3}+\dfrac{1}{3\cdot4}+...+\dfrac{1}{99\cdot100}\)
\(=1-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+...+\dfrac{1}{99}-\dfrac{1}{100}\)
\(=1-\dfrac{1}{100}< 1\left(2\right)\). Từ \((1)\) và \((2)\) ta có:
\(A< B< 1\Leftrightarrow A< 1\) (Điều phải chứng minh)
Ta thấy:
\(\frac{1}{2^2}< \frac{1}{1.2}\)
\(\frac{1}{3^2}< \frac{1}{2.3}\)
\(........\)
\(\frac{1}{100^2}< \frac{1}{99.100}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) Ta có:
\(\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{3^2}+\frac{1}{4^2}+...+\frac{1}{100^2}< \frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+...+\frac{1}{99.100}\)
Mà:
\(\frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{3.4}+...+\frac{1}{99.100}\)
\(=1-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}+...+\frac{1}{99}-\frac{1}{100}\)
\(=1-\frac{1}{100}\)
Vì: \(1-\frac{1}{100}< 1\)
Nên: \(\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{3^2}+\frac{1}{4^2}+...+\frac{1}{100^2}< 1\) (Đpcm)
Ta thấy:
\(\dfrac{1}{2^2}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{3^2}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{4^2}\)+........+\(\dfrac{1}{100^2}\)<\(\dfrac{1}{1.2}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{2.3}\)+....+\(\dfrac{1}{99.100}\)
Ta lại thấy:\(\dfrac{1}{1.2}\)+\(\dfrac{1}{2.3}+\dfrac{1}{3.4}+....+\dfrac{1}{99.100}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{1}-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+......+\dfrac{1}{99}-\dfrac{1}{100}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{1}-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)-\left(\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)-.....-\left(\dfrac{1}{99}-\dfrac{1}{99}\right)-\dfrac{1}{100}\)\(=\left(\dfrac{1}{1}-\dfrac{1}{100}\right)< 1\Rightarrowđpcm\)
