x=2014 => x+1 = 2015
f(2014) = x^17 - (x+1)x^16 + ... + (x+1)x -1
= x^17 - x^17 - x^16 + x^16 - x^15 - ... + x^2 + x -1
= x - 1 = 2013
Ta thấy \(x=2014\Rightarrow x+1=2015\)
Ta có: \(f\left(2014\right)=x^{17}-\left(x+1\right)x^{16}+\left(x+1\right)x^{15}-...+\left(x+1\right)x-1\)
\(=x^{17}-x^{17}-x^{16}+x^{16}+x^{15}-...+x^2+x-1\)
\(=x-1\)(1)
Thay x=2014 vào (1) ta được:
\(f\left(2014\right)=2014-1\)
\(=2013\)
