prove the following by mathematical induction:- 102N-1+1 IS DIVISIBLE BY 11
Hi!
Let p(n) be 102n-1+1 =11p
p(1) = 10+1 = 11 which is divisible by 11
Let p(k) be true.
p(k) = 102k-1+1 = 11m
p(k+1) = 102(k+1) - 1+1
=102k+2-1+1
=102k-1.102+1
=11m . 102
which is a multiple of 11.
Hence by principle of mathematical induction, p(n) is true for all n∈N.
