问题描述:
证明1-1/2+1/3-1/4+...+1/(2n-1)-1/2n=1/(n+1)+1/(n+2)+
...1/2n
答
用数学归纳法比较简单!
解析:
⑴当n=1时,等式左端=1/2=右端,显然成立!
⑵假设当n=k时,原式成立,即
1-1/2+1/3-1/4+…+1/(2k-1)-1/2k=1/(k+1)+1/(k+2)+…+1/2k.①
那么当n=k+1时,就是要证明:
1-1/2+1/3-1/4+…+1/(2k-1)-1/2k+1/(2k+1)-1/(2k+2)=1/(k+2)+1/(k+3)+…+1/2k+1/(2k+1)+1/(2k+2)②
将①式带入②式,就得
1/(k+1)+1/(2k+1)-1/(2k+2)=1/(2k+1)+1/(2k+2)
对上式左端通分得
左端=1/(2k+1)+1/(2k+2)=右端!
这也就是说原结论成立!
证毕!
