Question

In using induction to prove that 152n + 1 + 32n + 1 is divisible by 18, what statement is represented by S>k?
a.) 152^n + 1 + 32^n + 1 = 18p where p is an integer
b.)152^n + 1 + 32^n + 1 = p where p is an integer
c.)152^n + 1 + 32^n + 1 = 18
d.)152^n + 1 + 32^n + 1/18
e.)18(152^n + 32^n)

Answer 1

are those exponents by chance? b^(n+1) ??

Answer 2

other than that, the rest if it looks just as garbled to me. got no idea what S>k would mean in this context

Answer 3

yes they are! here
In using induction to prove that 15^2n + 1 + 3^2n + 1 is divisible by 18, what statement is represented by S>k?
a.) 15^2n + 1 + 3^2n + 1 = 18p where p is an integer
b.) 15^2n + 1 + 3^2n + 1 = p where p is an integer
c.) 15^2n + 1 + 3^2n + 1 = 18
d.) 15^2n + 1 + 3^2n + 1/18
e.) 18(15^2n + 3^2n)
