Question

Using the principle of mathematical induction, show that; 2^4n-1 is divisible by 15.

Answer 1

Answer:

2^4n-1 is divisible by 15 if 2^4n-1 is a multiple of 15

Let p(n)=2^4n-1 =15m, where m e n

Step-by-step explanation:

put n=1

2^4(1) - 1 = 16-1=15

2^4n-1 is a multiple of 15

hence proved
