every primes graters than 2 can writing in the form (2 on exponent (n+1) +1). True or False ?
\[2^{n+1}+1\]?
yes
so prove it than ...
n>=0
It's false i think
for example, it does't work for 7
If n is supposed to be an integer, 7 would be a fine counterexample.
here is my proof. 109 is prime
moneybird you can prove it ?
actually i like moneybirds proof better. only need to go up to 7
so than the primes not can never writing in the form 2 on exponent (n) +1 or ...how ?
5 can be written that way as \[2^2+1\]
just in the form (2n+1) ?
The statement says every. If you have a counterexample, then the statement is false.
and 7=2*2+2+1
i think there is some confusion in this question . why would anyone write \[2^{n+1}+1\] instead of \[2^n+1\]?
not is just for we can getting when n=0 so yes sorry i have wrote firstly 2 on exponent n-1 +1
when n=1 than we get 2 on exponent 0 =1 so than will be 1+1=2
than 2+2=4 and hence in this way we can getting 4 like sum of two primes
i am still confused by the question. it is not true that for all n \[2^n+1\] is prime and it is not true that for all primes \[p=2^n+1\]
for example \[2^3+1=9\] not prime and \[7\neq 2^n+1\]
thank you satellite73 so than 2 on exponent n + 3 will be right always ?
i think yes
