Chứng minh đẳng thức sau \(\frac{1}{1.2.3}+\frac{1}{2.3.4}+\frac{1}{3.4.5}+...+\frac{1}{\left(n-1\right)n\left(n+1\right)}=\frac{\left(n-1\right)\left(n+2\right)}{4n\left(n+1\right)}\)  với \(n\ge2\)

Answer 1

[Đinh Đức Hùng]

Với \(k\in N;k>0\) Ta có :

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

Áp dụng ta có :

\(\frac{1}{1.2.3}+\frac{1}{2.3.4}+\frac{1}{3.4.5}+.....+\frac{1}{\left(n-1\right)n\left(n+1\right)}\)

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

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

Answer 2

[Phùng Minh Quân]

Ta có : 

\(\frac{1}{1.2.3}+\frac{1}{2.3.4}+\frac{1}{3.4.5}+...+\frac{1}{\left(n-1\right)n\left(n+1\right)}=\frac{\left(n-1\right)\left(n+2\right)}{4n\left(n+1\right)}\)

\(\Leftrightarrow\)\(\frac{2}{1.2.3}+\frac{2}{2.3.4}+\frac{2}{3.4.5}+...+\frac{2}{\left(n-1\right)n\left(n+1\right)}=\frac{2\left(n-1\right)\left(n+2\right)}{4n\left(n+1\right)}\)

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

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

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

\(\Leftrightarrow\)\(\frac{n^2+n-2}{2n^2+2n}=\frac{n^2+n-2}{2n^2+2n}\) với \(n\ge2\)

Vậy ...
