a) \(A=3^1+3^2+3^3+...+3^{99}\)
\(=\left(3^1+3^2+3^3\right)+...+\left(3^{97}+3^{98}+3^{99}\right)\)
\(=3.\left(1+3+3^2\right)+...+3^{97}.\left(1+3+3^2\right)\)
\(=13.\left(3+...+3^{97}\right)⋮13\)
Vậy A chia hết cho 13
b) \(3A=3^2+3^3+3^4+...+3^{100}\)
\(\Rightarrow3A-A=\left(3^2+3^3+3^4+...+3^{100}\right)-\left(3^1+3^2+3^3+...+3^{99}\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow2A=3^{100}-3\)
\(\Rightarrow2A+3=3^{100}=\left(3^{50}\right)^2\)
Vậy 2A + 3 là một lũy thừa của 3
