Prove that 2.7n + 3.5n-5 is divisible by 24, for all n belongs to N....Plzzz dnt tell to refer textbook as frm dat also its not clear to me plzzzzzz answer it as soon as possible.....
Let p (n) be the statement given by
∴ p (1) is true
Let p (m) : 2.7m + 3.5m – 5 is divisible by 24 be true
⇒ 2.7m + 3.5m – 5 = 24λ ;λ∈N
⇒ 3.5m = 24λ + 5 – 2.7m ... (1)
Now
p (m + 1) : 2.7m + 1 + 3.5m + 1 – 5
= 2.7m + 1 + (3.5m) 5 – 5
= 2.7m + 1 + (24λ + 5 – 2.7m) 5 – 5 (from (1))
= 2.7m + 1 + 120λ + 25 – 10.7m – 5
= (2.7m + 1 – 10.7m) + 120λ + 20
= (2 × 7λ 7m – 10 × 7m) + 120λ + 24 – 4
= (14 – 10)7m – 4 + 24 (5λ + 1)
= 4 (7m – 1) + 24 (5λ + 1)
= 4 × 6µ + 24 (5λ + 1) (∵ 7m – 1 is a multiple of 6 for all m∈N ∴ 7m – 1 = 6µ, µ∈N)
= 24 (µ + 5λ + 1) which is divisible by 24
∴ p (m + 1) is true.
Hence by principle of mathematical induction p (n) is true for all n∈N
