a) \(49^{12}\)và \(5^{40}\)
\(49^{12}=\left(49^3\right)^4=\left(\left(7^2\right)^3\right)^4=\left(7^6\right)^4\)
\(5^{40}=\left(5^{10}\right)^4\)
\(7^6=\left(7^3\right)^2>\left(5^5\right)^2\)vì \(7^2\cdot7>5^3\cdot5^2\)
\(\Rightarrow49^{12}< 5^{40}\)
\(\left(-\frac{1}{16}\right)^{100}=\left(-\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)^4\right)^{100}\)
\(=\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{400}< \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{500}\)
