Given : A = n3 + 6n2 + 8n.
To Find : Prove that A is divisible by 3
Solution:
A = n³ + 6n² + 8n
= n(n² + 6n + 8)
= n (n + 2)(n + 4)
without loosing generality
n = 3k , 3k +1 , 3k + 2 k ∈ Z
n = 3k
=> A = 3k (3k + 2)(3k + 4)
Hence divisible by 3
n = 3k + 1
=> A = (3k + 1)((3k + 1 + 2)(3k + 1 + 4)
= (3k + 1)(3k + 3)(3k + 5)
= 3(3k + 1)(k + 1)(3k + 5)
Hence divisible by 3
n = 3k + 2
=> A = (3k + 2)(3k + 2 + 2)(3k +2 + 4)
= (3k + 2)(3k + 4)(3k + 6)
= 3(3k + 2)(3k + 4)(k + 2)
Hence divisible by 3
so A = n³ + 6n² + 8n is divisible by 3
