Đặt \(A=\dfrac{1}{2^2}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}+\dfrac{1}{4^2}+\dfrac{1}{5^2}+\dfrac{1}{6^2}+\dfrac{1}{7^2}+\dfrac{1}{8^2}\)

Ta có:

\(\dfrac{1}{2^2}< \dfrac{1}{1.2}\)

\(\dfrac{1}{3^2}< \dfrac{1}{2.3}\)

\(\dfrac{1}{4^2}< \dfrac{1}{3.4}\)

\(\dfrac{1}{5^2}< \dfrac{1}{4.5}\)

\(\dfrac{1}{6^2}< \dfrac{1}{5.6}\)
\(\dfrac{1}{7^2}< \dfrac{1}{6.7}\)

\(\dfrac{1}{2^2}+\dfrac{1}{3^2}+\dfrac{1}{4^2}+\dfrac{1}{5^2}+\dfrac{1}{6^2}+\dfrac{1}{7^2}+\dfrac{1}{8^2}\)<\(\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{2.3}+\dfrac{1}{3.4}+\dfrac{1}{4.5}+\dfrac{1}{5.6}+\dfrac{1}{6.7}+\dfrac{1}{7.8}\)

A<\(\dfrac{1}{1}-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}-\dfrac{1}{7}+\dfrac{1}{7}-\dfrac{1}{8}\)

A<\(\left[\left(\dfrac{1}{1}-\dfrac{1}{8}\right)+\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\right)+\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}\right)+\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}\right)+\left(-\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}\right)+\left(-\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}\right)+\left(-\dfrac{1}{7}+\dfrac{1}{7}\right)+\left(-\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{8}\right)\right]\)A<\(\left[\left(\dfrac{8}{8}-\dfrac{1}{8}\right)+0+0+0+0+0+0+0\right]\)

A<\(\dfrac{7}{8}< 1\)

Vậy ta có đpcm.
