Solution:
The smallest positive integer for which P(n) is 4.
P(4) = 24 < (1 × 2 × 3 × ... × 4)
P(4) = 16 < 24.
Solution:
Given,
$10\text{n }+3\times^{\text{n}+2}+\lambda$ is divisible by 9,
$\text{P}(1)=10^1+3\times4^{1+2}+\lambda$ is exactly divisible by 9 then the value of $\lambda$ is 5.
Solution:
$\text{i}+\text{i}^2+\text{i}^3+\text{i}^4+...\text{i}^{1000}$
$\text{i}+\text{i}^2+\text{i}^3+\text{i}^4 \ [\because\text{i}^2=-1,\text{i}^3=-\text{i and} \ \text{i}^4=1]$
$=\text{i}-1-\text{i}+1$
$=0$
Similarly, the sum of the next four terms of the series will be equal to 0. This is because the powers of i follow a cyclicity of 4. Hence, the sum of all terms, till 1000, will be zero.
$\text{i}+\text{i}^2+\text{i}^3+\text{i}^4+...\text{i}^{1000}=0$
Solution:
P(n) is true for all positive integer n, i.e.
$\text{n}\geq5,$Where P(n) is a Propositional function, complete two steps:
Basic Step: Verify that the proposition P(1) is true.
Inductive Step: Show the conditional statement,
$\big[\text{P}(1) \wedge \text{P}(2) \wedge-\wedge\text{P}(\text{k})\big]\rightarrow\text{P(k+1)}$ holds for all positive integer.
Solution:
Given
xn - 1
We know that
x = k is the root of the equation(x - 1)
⇒ xn - 1 = 0
⇒ xn = 1
Hence, the least positive integral value of $\lambda$ is 1.
Solution:
3.52n+ 1 + 23n+1 is divisible by 17, $\text{n}\in\text{N}$
Step 1: 3.52(1)+1 + 23(1) + 1
3.53 + 24 = 391
Step 2: Assuming True for n = k
Hence, it is proved that 3.52n+1 + 23n+1 is divisible by 17.
Solution:
(49)n + 16n - 1
⇒ (1 + 48)n + 16n - 1
⇒ 1 + 48n + ... 48n + 16n - 1
⇒ 64n + nC2(48)2 + nC3(48)3 + ... + (48)n
⇒ 64(n + nC2(6)2 + nC3(6)348 + ... + (6)n 8n-2)
$\therefore$ 49n + 16n - 1 is divisible by 64
