a. \(\frac{7}{15}< \frac{7}{14}=\frac{1}{2};\frac{15}{23}>\frac{15}{30}=\frac{1}{2}\text{ hay }\frac{7}{15}< \frac{1}{2}< \frac{15}{23}\)
Vậy \(\frac{7}{15}< \frac{15}{23}\).
b. \(x=\frac{13^{16}+1}{13^{17}+1}\Rightarrow13x=\frac{13^{17}+13}{13^{17}+1}=1+\frac{12}{13^{17}+1}\)
\(y=\frac{13^{15}+1}{13^{16}+1}\Rightarrow13y=\frac{13^{16}+13}{13^{16}+1}=1+\frac{12}{13^{16}+1}\)
Vì \(13^{17}+1>13^{16}+1\) nên \(\frac{12}{13^{17}+1}< \frac{12}{13^{16}+1}\)
Mà 1 = 1 => \(1+\frac{12}{13^{17}+1}< 1+\frac{12}{13^{16}+1}\text{ hay }13x< 13y\)
=> x < y.
