Perhaps the condition was rewritten incorrectly, or an error in the textbook. The first formula is wrong.
1/3 != 1/2
1/3+1/15 = 2/5 != 2/3
1/3+1/15 + 1/35 = 3/7 != 3/4
1/3+...1/(4n^2-1) = n/(2n+1)
n/(2n+1) + 1/(4(n+1)^2 - 1) =
carefully decompose the second denominator according to the difference of squares formula, reduce to a common denominator and factorize the numerator of the = (n+1)/(2n+3)
FTD. (1-a1)(1-a2) = 1-a1-a2-a1*a2 > 1-a1-a2
because a1*a2
- is positive. Next, take the product for n, replace the first n-1 parentheses by the induction hypothesis, open the parentheses, and then you can omit all terms like ai*aj, they are all positive.
