Prove that 3 | 22n+1 +1 for all natural numbers n.
Prove that for all positive integers n,
1
3
2n – 1
1
2

2n
V3n
HINT: You will find it difficult (likely impossible) to prove this directly. Consider proving a slightly
stronger statement by making a small change to the expression inside the square root. Then, re-
member to use what you prove to conclude the inequality in this question.
