0,5 điểm) Cho A = 1/7^ 2 − 1/ 7^4 + 1/7^6 − 1/7^8 + . . . + 1/7^98 − 1/7^100 . Chứng minh rằng A < 1 50 .
Hướng dẫn giải
Ta có: \(49A = 49.\left( {\frac{1}{{{7^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^4}}} + \frac{1}{{{7^6}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^8}}} + ... + \frac{1}{{{7^{98}}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^{100}}}}} \right)\)
\(49A = {7^2}.\left( {\frac{1}{{{7^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^4}}} + \frac{1}{{{7^6}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^8}}} + ... + \frac{1}{{{7^{98}}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^{100}}}}} \right)\)
\(49A = {7^2}.\frac{1}{{{7^2}}} - {7^2}.\frac{1}{{{7^4}}} + {7^2}.\frac{1}{{{7^6}}} - {7^2}.\frac{1}{{{7^8}}} + ... + {7^2}.\frac{1}{{{7^{98}}}} - {7^2}.\frac{1}{{{7^{100}}}}\)
\(49A = 1 - \frac{1}{{{7^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{7^4}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^6}}} + ... + \frac{1}{{{7^{96}}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^{98}}}}\)
\(49A + A = \left( {1 - \frac{1}{{{7^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{7^4}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^6}}} + ... + \frac{1}{{{7^{96}}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^{98}}}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{1}{{{7^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^4}}} + \frac{1}{{{7^6}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^8}}} + ... + \frac{1}{{{7^{98}}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^{100}}}}} \right)\)
\(50A = 1 + \left( {\frac{1}{{{7^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^2}}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{1}{{{7^4}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^4}}}} \right) + \left( {\frac{1}{{{7^6}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^6}}}} \right) + ... + \left( {\frac{1}{{{7^{98}}}} - \frac{1}{{{7^{98}}}}} \right) - \frac{1}{{{7^{100}}}}\)
\(50A = 1 - \frac{1}{{{7^{100}}}} < 1\) hay \(50A < 1\), suy ra \(A < \frac{1}{{50}}\).
