i have a question
2. Which is a counterexample that disproves the conjecture?
If n is a positive integer, then 2^n – 1 is a prime number.
(Points : 1)
n = 6
n = 5
n = 3
n = 2
i think the answer is 6

does that say
\[2n-1\] or
\[2^{n-1}\]
OpenStudy (dj3strella):
the second one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then your job is to compute
\[2^5-1\\
2^4-1\\
2^3-1\\
2^2-1\] and see which of those is not a prime number
OpenStudy (dj3strella):

\[2^2-1=3\] prime
\[2^3-1=7\] prime
\[2^4-1=15\] hmmm
OpenStudy (dj3strella):
2^4-1 is not one of them
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh oops
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[2^6-1=64-1=63\] yeah, pick that one
