Which is bigger?

A = 201 9 2019 201 9 2018 B = 201 8 2019 201 8 2018 + 2018 A = \dfrac{2019^{2019}}{2019^{2018}} \qquad \quad B = \dfrac{2018^{2019}}{2018^{2018}+2018}

B > A B > A A > B A > B A = B A=B

A = 201 9 2019 201 9 2018 = 2019 > 2018 = 201 8 2019 201 8 2018 > 201 8 2019 201 8 2018 + 2018 = B A=\frac{2019^{2019}}{2019^{2018}}=2019>2018=\frac{2018^{2019}}{2018^{2018}}>\frac{2018^{2019}}{2018^{2018}+2018}=B (Because the denominator, we get the last inequality.) Hence, A > B A>B

1 A = \frac{1}{A}= 1 2019 \frac{1}{2019}

1 B = \frac{1}{B}= 201 8 2018 201 8 2019 + 2018 201 8 2019 = \frac{2018^{2018}}{2018^{2019}}+\frac{2018}{2018^{2019}}= 1 2018 + 1 201 8 2018 > \frac{1}{2018}+\frac{1}{2018^{2018}}> 1 2018 > \frac{1}{2018}> 1 2019 = \frac{1}{2019}= 1 A \frac{1}{A}

So, 1 B > 1 A \frac{1}{B}>\frac{1}{A} or,

A > B \boxed{A>B}
