41n – 14n is a multiple of 27.
41n – 14n is a multiple of 27.
Let P(n) = 41n – 14n
P(1) is a multiple of 27
Let us assume P(k) is a multiple of 27
To Prove P(k+1) is divisible by 27 using the result of ( A )
P(k +1) = 41k+1 - 14k+1
= 41k .41 – 14k . 14
= (27M + 14k) 41 – 14k . 14
= 27M
= 27M
= 27M
= 27(41M + 14k)
P(k+1) is a multiple of 27.
hence the result.
Hence proved
