Show that 3 · 4^n + 51 is divisible by 3 and 9 for all positive integers n.

Mathematics

-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

3\cdot 4^n+51=3\cdot 4^n+3\cdot 17=3(4^n+17)

So this is divisible by 3.

Now, to prove that this is divisible by 9 = 3*3 we need to prove that

4^n+17 is divisible by 3. We will prove it by induction.

Step 1 - for n = 1

4+17=21= 3*7 this is true

Step 2 - we assume this is true for k so 4^k+17 is divisible by 3

and we check what happens for k+1

4^{k+1}+17=4\cdot 4^k+17=3\cdot 4^k + 4^k+17

3\cdot 4^k is divisible by 3 and

4^k+17 is divisible by 3, by induction hypothesis

So, the sum is divisible by 3.

Step 3 - Conclusion

We just prove that 4^n+17 is divisible by 3 for all positive integers n.

Thanks

(2a-b)2-(a-2b)2 factorial
kvasek [131]

Hello, we know that for a and b real numbers

a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)

So,

(2a-b)^2-(a-2b)^2=(2a-b-a+2b)(2a-b+a-2b)\\\\=(a+b)(3a-3b)\\\\\boxed{=3(a+b)(a-b)}

Thank you.

Which statement correctly explains how Dana can solve the following system of linear equations for x using the elimination metho
Vanyuwa [196]
1. The correct statement is the first one, which is: <span>Add the two equations, solve for y, and then substitute –1 for y to find x.
</span>
 2. Therefore, you have the following system of equations:
<span>
 4x+8y=20
 -4x+2y= -30

 3. When you a</span>dd the two equations, and clear the variable "y", you obtain:

 10y=-10
 y=-1

 4. Now, you must substitute -1 for y (y=-1) to find x, as below:

 4x+8y=20
 4x+8(-1)=20
 4x-8=20
 4x=20+8
 4x=28
 x=28/4
 x=7
