Answer:
i) P(1) = 3²⁺² – 8 – 9 = 64 is divisible by 8 . hence true
ii) Assuming true for P(k) is divisible by 8
P(k) = 3^2k+2 – 8k – 9=8M,
M is a positive real
Let P(k +1) = 3^2(k+1)+2 – 8(k) – 9
3^2k+2+2 – 8k – 8 – 9
3^2k+2 x 3² – 8k – 17
= (8M + 8k + 9)9 – 8k – 17
= 72M + 12k + 81 – 8k – 17

Question 17.
Consider the statement “10^2n-1+1 is divisible by 11” verify that P is true and prove the statement by using Mathematical induction.
(MARCH-2017)
Answer:
p(1): 10¹ + 1 = 11 divisible by 11, hence true. Assuming that true for p(k)
p(k): 10^{2k – 1} + 1 is divisible by 11.
10^{2k – 1} + 1 = 11M
p(k + 1):10^{2(k+1) – 1} + 1
= 1o^{2k + 2 – 1} +1
=10^{2k – 1} x 10² + 1
= 10^{2k – 1} x 100 + 1
(11M – 1)100 + 1
= 1100M – 100+1
= 1100M – 99
= 11(100M – 9)
Hence p(k+1)divisible by 11. Therefore by using the principle of mathematical induction true for all n ∈ N .
