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
