Ta có p = [ ( 3 + 32 + 33 + ... + 3201 ) - ( 1 + 3 + 32 + ... + 3200 ) ] : 2
=> p = ( 3201 - 1 ) : 2
Vì ( 3201 - 1 ) : 2 < 3201 nên p < Q
Ta có :
\(P=1+3+3^2+3^3+...+3^{200}\)
=> \(3P=3+3^2+3^3+3^4+...+3^{201}\)
=> \(3P-P=\left(3+3^2+3^3+...+3^{201}\right)-\left(1+3+3^2+...+3^{200}\right)\)
=> \(2P=3^{201}-1\)
Ta có : 3201 - 1 < 3201 => 2P < Q => P < Q
