Question

[Minh Vũ]

Cho A=3+3²+3³+...+3⁹⁹ chứng tỏ rằng A chia hết cho 13

Answer 1

[ILoveMath]

\(A=3+3^2+3^3+...+3^{99}\\ \Rightarrow A=\left(3+3^2+3^3\right)+\left(3^4+3^5+3^6\right)+...+\left(3^{97}+3^{98}+3^{99}\right)\\ \Rightarrow A=3\left(1+3+3^2\right)+3^4\left(1+3+3^2\right)+...+3^{97}\left(1+3+3^2\right)\\ \Rightarrow A=\left(1+3+3^2\right)\left(3+3^4+...+3^{97}\right)\\ \Rightarrow A=13\left(3+3^4+...+3^{97}\right)⋮13\)

Answer 2

[Kudo Shinichi]

\(A=3+3^2+3^3+...+3^{99}\\ 3A-A=3^{99}-1\\ A=\dfrac{3^{99}-1}{2}\)
