prove that for every natural number n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[25| 2^{n+2}3^n+5n-4\]

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a|b \] means b is divisible by a

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

but what to prove ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at these http://openstudy.com/users/jonask#/updates/50574352e4b02986d3712444

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe u can apply induction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[n=k\] let \[4*6^k+5k-4\] \[k=1\] \[4*6+5-4=25\] true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[n=k+1\] \[LHS=24*6^k+5k+1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

note that\[P(k+1)=2^{k+3}3^{k+1}+5(k+1)-4\]\[=6\times (2^{k+1}3^k+5k-4)-6(5k-4)+5(k+1)-4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how does it help us

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait its the same thing as we substitute n=k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt it supposed t be 12 instead of 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[P(k+1)=6\times P(k)-25k+25\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thanks,i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry :/
