已知不等式1/n+1/n+1+1/n+2+…1/2n+1<11a/3+11/6a对于任何n∈N*都成立,求实数a的取值范围.

当n=k(k∈N*)时
记f(k)=1/k+1/(k+1)+1/(k+2)+...+1/(2k+1)
则f(k+1)=1/(k+1)+1/(k+2)+...+1/(2k+1)+1/(2k+2)+1/(2k+2+1)
f(k)-f(k+1)=1/k-(1/(2k+2)+1/(2k+2+1))>0
所以f(k)随k的增大而减少
所以,当n=k=1时,f(k)取得最大值1
所以10
又11a/3+11/6a≥2√[(11a/3)(11/6a)]=(11√2)/3>1
所以,a的取值范围是a>0.
完毕.
