We know that a linear equation is y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We can see that the slope is m=3, and there is no b meaning b=0. Since the y-intercept is 0 we can start from the origin (0,0). The slope is 3/1 or known as rise/run. You go up 3 and go right 1, making the second point (1,3). This should work.

Prove that for any natural n the number 3^(n+4)−3^n is divisible by 16.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Proved (See Explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Show that 3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ is divisible by 16.

This is done as follows

$\frac{3^{n+4} - 3^n}{16}$

From laws of indices;

aᵐ⁺ⁿ = aᵐ * aⁿ.

So, 3ⁿ⁺⁴ can be written as 3ⁿ * 3⁴.

$\frac{3^{n+4} - 3^n}{16}$ becomes

$\frac{3^n * 3^4 - 3^n}{16}$

Factorize

$\frac{3^n(3^4 - 1)}{16}$

$\frac{3^n(81 - 1)}{16}$

$\frac{3^n(80)}{16}$

3ⁿ * 5

5(3ⁿ)

<em>The expression can not be further simplified.</em>

<em>However, we can conclude that when 3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ is divisible by 16, because 5(3ⁿ) is a natural whole number as long as n is a natural whole number.</em>
