A = 1 + 22 + ... + 280
2A = 2 + 23 + ... + 281
2A - A = ( 2 + 23 + ... + 281 ) - ( 1 + 22 + ... + 280 )
A = 281 - 1 < 281 = B
Vậy A < B
\(A=1+2+2^2+...+2^{79}+2^{80}\)
\(2A=2+2^3+...+2^{80}+2^{81}\)
Do 2A - A = A nên:
\(A=\left(2+2^3+...+2^{80}+2^{81}\right)-\left(1+2+2^2+...+2^{79}+2^{80}\right)\)
\(=2^{81}-1< 2^{81}=B\)
Do đó A < B
