Ta có: \(\left(\frac{-1}{4}\right)^{40}=\left[\left(\frac{-1}{4}\right)^2\right]^{20}=\left(\frac{1}{16}\right)^{20}\)
\(\left(\frac{-1}{5}\right)^{34}=\left[\left(\frac{-1}{5}\right)^2\right]^{17}=\left(\frac{1}{25}\right)^{17}\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(\frac{1}{16}\right)^{20}>\left(\frac{1}{25}\right)^{17}\)
Vậy \(\left(\frac{-1}{4}\right)^{40}>\left(\frac{-1}{5}\right)^{34}\)
