In summary, Proof: Inequality of Series is a mathematical concept that states that if two series have the same terms, but in a different order, and one of the series converges, then the other series also converges. Understanding this concept is important for manipulating and rearranging series, determining convergence or divergence, and solving mathematical problems. It differs from Proof: Convergence of Series in that it only applies when the terms of two series are exactly the same, but in a different order. Some real-life applications of this concept include finance, physics, and engineering. In your own research or experiments, you can use Proof: Inequality of Series to analyze data, determine convergence or divergence, and simplify equations.

prove :
$\dfrac {1\times 3 \times 5\times------\times 99}{2\times 4\times 6\times --\times {100}}>\dfrac {1}{10\sqrt 2}$

Let

$A= \frac{3}{4}*\frac{5}{6}\cdots\frac{99}{100}$
$B = \frac{2}{3}*\frac{4}{5}\cdots\frac{98}{99}$
In the above products each term of A is > B pairwise so A > B

$A * B = \frac{2}{100}$ and hence $A \gt\sqrt{(\frac{2}{100})}$

hence $ A \gt\frac{\sqrt{2}}{10}$

hence given expression which is $\frac{A}{ 2}$

so $\gt\dfrac{1}{10\sqrt{2}}$

very nice !
 

FAQ: Is the Inequality of Series Proven with 1 to 99 and 2 to 100?

What is the definition of "Proof: Inequality of Series"?

Proof: Inequality of Series is a mathematical concept that states that if two series have the same terms, but in a different order, and one of the series converges, then the other series also converges. This means that the order of terms in a convergent series does not affect its convergence.

Why is it important to understand "Proof: Inequality of Series"?

Understanding Proof: Inequality of Series is important because it allows us to manipulate and rearrange series in order to simplify and solve mathematical problems. It also helps us to determine the convergence or divergence of a series, which is crucial in many mathematical and scientific applications.

How is "Proof: Inequality of Series" different from "Proof: Convergence of Series"?

The difference between Proof: Inequality of Series and Proof: Convergence of Series is that Inequality of Series only applies when the terms of two series are exactly the same, but in a different order. On the other hand, Convergence of Series applies to any series, regardless of the order of terms.

What are some real-life applications of "Proof: Inequality of Series"?

Proof: Inequality of Series has many real-life applications, such as in finance, where it is used to calculate interest rates and compound interest. It is also used in physics and engineering to solve problems related to series and sequences, such as in the study of circuits and vibrations.

How can I use "Proof: Inequality of Series" in my own research or experiments?

If your research or experiments involve series or sequences, Proof: Inequality of Series can be used to analyze and manipulate data, as well as to determine the convergence or divergence of a series. It can also be used to simplify and solve mathematical equations that involve series or sequences.
