guys anyone knows mathematical induction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (nilankshi):

sorry , i don't know

OpenStudy (aravindg):

i hav a question can u help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fire away

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya sure so on writing ur question!!1

OpenStudy (aravindg):

n-3^(2n+2)-8n-9 is divisible by 8.Prove

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is ur question correct!!!!1

OpenStudy (aravindg):

no srry

OpenStudy (aravindg):

3^(2n+2)-8n-9 is divisible by 8.Prove

OpenStudy (aravindg):

............

OpenStudy (aravindg):

???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let p(n)=n-3^(2n+2)-8n-9 =8m (let m be any value) checking for p(1), lhs: p(1)= 3^(2+2) -8-9=81-17=64=8x8=8m =rhs therefore p(1)is true assume p(k)is true . =>3^(2k+2)-8k-9=8m \[=>3^{(2k)} = \frac{8m+8k+9}{3^{2}}\]-----(1) to prove :p(k+1)is true substitute k+1 in n in the given eq \[=>3^{2k+4}-8(k+1)-9= 3^{2k}.3^{4}-8k-17\]substitute (1) instead of 3^(2k) =>72m+64k+64= =>8(9m+8k+8) therefore p(k+1) is true by principal of mathematical induction , p(n) is true for all n belonging to natural numbers
