题目:
设直线nx+(n+1)y=2nx+(n+1)y=\sqrt{2}(nn 为自然数) 与两坐标轴围成的三角形面积为
Sn(n=1,2,,2020)S_n (n=1,2,\cdots,2020), 求S1+S2++S2020S_1+S_2+\cdots+S_{2020} 的值.

参考思路

设直线与xx 轴, yy 轴的交点分别为A,BA,B.
令$y=0\Rightarrow x=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{n}\Rightarrow A\left( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{n},0 \right) ; 令x=0\Rightarrow y=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{n+1}\Rightarrow A\left(0, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{n+1} \right) $.
因此有
\[
S_n=\frac{1}{2}|OA|\times |OB|=\frac{1}{n(n+1)}
\]
所以
\[
S_1+S_2+\cdots+S_{2020}=\frac{1}{1\times 2}+\frac{1}{2\times 3}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n(n+1)}=\frac{2020}{2021}.
\]
