Sn=1-1/2+1/3-1/4……1/2n-1+1/2n,Tn=1/n+1+1/n+2……1/2n

问题描述:

Sn=1-1/2+1/3-1/4……1/2n-1+1/2n,Tn=1/n+1+1/n+2……1/2n
猜想Sn与Tn的大小关系,并用数学归纳法证明

猜想:Sn=Tn .
证明:(1)当n=1时,S1=1-1/2=1/2 ,T1=1/2 ,因此 S1=T1 ,命题成立.
(2)设当 n=k(k>=1 ,为正整数)时 Sk=Tk ,
两边同时加上 1/(2k+1)-1/(2k+2) ,得
Sk+1/(2k+1)-1/(2k+2)=Tk+1/(2k+1)-1/(2k+2) ,
上式左边=S(k+1) ,
右边=1/(k+1)+1/(k+2)+.+1/(2k)+1/(2k+1)-1/(2k+2)
=[1/(k+2)+1/(k+3)+.+1/(2k)+1/(2k+1)+1/(2k+2)]+[1/(k+1)-2/(2k+2)]
=1/(k+2)+1/(k+3)+.+1/(2k)+1/(2k+1)+1/(2k+2)
=T(k+1) ,
因此命题对n=k+1也成立,
由(1)(2)可得,对所有正整数 n ,有 Sn=Tn .
