\(\dfrac{1}{2009^2}< \dfrac{1}{2008.2009}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{2010^2}< \dfrac{1}{2009.2010}\)
=> \(\dfrac{1}{2^2}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}+\dfrac{1}{4^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{2009^2}+\dfrac{1}{2010^2}\) < \(\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{2.3}+\dfrac{1}{3.4}+...+\dfrac{1}{2008.2009}+\dfrac{1}{2009.2010}\) (1)

\(\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{2.3}+\dfrac{1}{3.4}+...+\dfrac{1}{2008.2009}+\dfrac{1}{2009.2010}\)
= \(1-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{4}+...+\dfrac{1}{2008}-\dfrac{1}{2009}+\dfrac{1}{2009}-\dfrac{1}{2010}\)
= \(1-\dfrac{1}{2010}\)
= \(\dfrac{2009}{2010}< 1\) (2)
Từ (1) và (2), suy ra :
\(\dfrac{1}{2^2}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}+\dfrac{1}{4^2}+...+\dfrac{1}{2009^2}+\dfrac{1}{2010^2}\) < 1 hay:
