放缩技巧
(高考数学备考资料)
证明数列型不等式,因其思维跨度大、构造性强,需要有较高的放缩技巧而充满思考性和挑战性,能全面而综合地考查学生的潜能与后继学习能力,因而成为高考压轴题及各级各类竞赛试题命题的极好素材。这类问题的求解策略往往是:通过多角度观察所给数列通项的结构,深入剖析其特征,抓住其规律进行恰当地放缩;其放缩技巧主要有以下几种:
一、裂项放缩

22?42?4?62?4?6???2nn(4) 求证:2(n?1?1)?1?1?1???1?2(2n?1?1)

222416364n42n4n (3)先运用分式放缩法证明出1?3?5???(2n?1)?2?4?6???2n12n?1,再结合
1n?2?n?2?n进行裂项,最后就可以得到答案
(4)首先再证
1n1n?2(n?1?n)?2n?1?n22,所以容易经过裂项得到2(n?1?1)?1?1?1???1
23n而由均值不等式知道这是显然成立的,
?2(2n?1?2n?1)?2n?1?2n?1?n?211?n?22所以1?1?1???1?2(2n?1?1)
23n
例3.求证:
6n1115?1?????2?
(n?1)(2n?1)49n31?n21??1?2?2???14n?12n?12n?1?2?n?414解析: 一方面: 因为,所以
?kk?1n1211?25 ?11?1?2????????1??2n?12n?1?33?35 另一方面: 1?1?1???1?1?1?1???249n2?33?411n
?1??n(n?1)n?1n?1 当n?3时,
当n?2时,所以综上有
6n111n6n,当n?1时,?1?????2?(n?1)(2n?1)49nn?1(n?1)(2n?1),
6n111?1?????2,
(n?1)(2n?1)49n6n1115?1?????2?
(n?1)(2n?1)49n3例4.(2008年全国一卷)设函数f(x)?x?xlnx.数列?an?满足0?a明:ak?1?b.
11),整数k≥a1?b?1.an?1?f(an).设b?(a1,.证
a1lnb解析: 由数学归纳法可以证明?an?是递增数列, 故 若存在正整数m?k, 使am?b, 则ak?1?ak?b,
若am?b(m?k),则由0?a1?am?b?1知amlnam?a1lnam?a1lnb?0,a?a?alna?a?kalna,
?mmk?1kkk1m?1因为
?am?1kmlnam?k(a1lnb),于是ak?1?a1?k|a1lnb|?a1?(b?a1)?b
例5.已知n,m?N?,x??1,Sm?1m?2m?3m???nm,求证: nm?1?(m?1)Sn?(n?1)m?1?1.
解析:首先可以证明:(1?x)n?1?nx
nm?1?nm?1?(n?1)m?1?(n?1)m?1?(n?2)m?1???1m?1?0?n[km?1?(k?1)m?1]所以要证
?k?1 nm?1?(m?1)Sn?(n?1)m?1?1只要证:
?[km?1?(k?1)m?1]?(m?1)?km?(n?1)m?1?1?(n?1)m?1?nm?1?nm?1?(n?1)m?1???2m?1?1m?1??[(k?1)m?1?km?1]k?1k?1k?1nnn
故只要证
?[kk?1nm?1?(k?1)m?1]?(m?1)?k??[(k?1)m?1?km?1],
mk?1k?1nn即等价于km?1?(k?1)m?1?(m?1)km?(k?1)m?1?km,
即等价于1?m?1?(1?1)m?1,1?m?1?(1?1)m?1 而正是成立的,所以原命题成立.

n1?41?23所以
2n2n3?2n32nTn??n?1?n?1?n?1??4n44424?3?2n?1?222?(2n)2?3?2n?1(4?1)?2(1?2n)??2?2n?1??2n?1333332n
?32n3?11? ???n?n?1?nn2(2?2?1)(2?1)2?2?12?1?1111 从而T?T?T???T?3???1??????n123n2?3372?112n?1?3

例7.已知x1?1,x??n(n?2k?1,k?Z),求证:
?n?n?1(n?2k,k?Z)1414x2?x3??114x4?x5????214x2nx2n?1?2(n?1?1)(n?N*)
证明:
41x2nx2n?1?(2n?1)(2n?1)?144n?112?14,
4n222?n22n?2(n?1?n)因为
2n?n?n?1,所以
4x2nx2n?1?2n?n?n?1所以
41x2?x3?14x4?x5???14x2nx2n?1?2(n?1?1)(n?N*)
二、函数放缩
例8.求证:ln2?ln3?ln4???ln3?3n?5n?6(n?N*).
n23436n 解析:先构造函数有lnx?x?1?lnx?1?1,从而ln2?ln3?ln4??xx234ln3n111 ?n?3n?1?(????n)2333n?1n?1cause1?1??23?39?31?11??111111?11?5?33??9?1???????n?n????????????????n?n???n????????n?1?32?13?6?69??1827?3?23??456789??2?2?3?5n
