Step-by-step explanation:
P(n):2
3n
−1
If It's divisible by 7 then,
Base case:
n=1 then,
P(n):2
3n
−1=2
3×1
−1=7
If n=k is true for some natural numbers, then It should also be true for (k+1),
For n=k,
P(k):2
3k
−1=7d
P(k):2
3k
=7d+1 .....(1)
Where d=1,2,3,4.......so on
Now we check for n=k+1,
P(k+1):2
3(k+1)
−1=7d
P(k+1):2
3k+3
=7d+1
(Since a
xy
=a
x
a
y
)
P(k+1):2
3k
2
3
=7d+1
Substituting value from equation (1),
P(k+1):(7d+1)×8=7d+1
56d+8=7d+1
7×(8d+1)=7d
So, it is true for both k and (k+1).
Hence, from the principle of mathematical induction,
2
3n
−1 is divisible by 7 for all natural numbers.
