Ta có : A = 4 + 2^2 + 2^3 + 2^4 + ... + 2^20
2A = 8 + 23 + 24 + 25 + ... + 221
suy ra 2A - A = ( 8 + 23 + 24 + 25 + ... + 221 ) - ( 4 + 2^2 + 2^3 + 2^4 + ... + 2^20 )
A = 221 + 8 - 4 - 22 = 221
Vậy A = 221 ( đpcm )
ta có : A = 4 + 2 ^ 2 + 2 ^ 3 + 2 ^ 4 + ... + 2 ^ 20
2A = 8 + 23+24+25+......+221
suy ra 2A - A = ( 8 + 23 + 24 + 25+......+ 221 ) - ( 4 + 2 ^ 2 + 2 ^ 3 + 2 ^ 4 +....+2 ^ 20 )
A = 221 + 8 - 4 - 22 = 221
