Ta có:
x = \(\frac{17^{16}-3}{17^{16}+1}=\frac{17^{16}+1-4}{17^{16}+1}=\frac{17^{16}+1}{17^{16}+1}-\frac{4}{17^{16}+1}=1-\frac{4}{17^{16}+1}\)
y = \(\frac{17^{17}-3}{17^{17}+1}=\frac{17^{17}+1-4}{17^{17}+1}=\frac{17^{17}+1}{17^{17}+1}-\frac{4}{17^{17}+1}=1-\frac{4}{17^{17}+1}\)
Do \(\frac{4}{17^{16}+1}>\frac{4}{17^{17}+1}\) => \(-\frac{4}{17^{16}+1}< -\frac{4}{17^{17}+1}\) => \(1-\frac{4}{17^{16}+1}< 1-\frac{4}{17^{17}+1}\)
=> x < y
