Prove the following statement by mathematical induction.
For every integer n ≥ 0, 7" - 2" is divisible by 5.
Proof (by mathematical induction): Let P(n) be the following sentence.
7" - 2n is divisible by 5.
We will show that P(n) is true for every integer n ≥ 0.
Show that P(0) is true: Select P(0) from the choices below.
(70 - 20) | 5
5 | (7⁰ - 20)
5 is a multiple of 7⁰ -2⁰
7⁰ -2⁰ <5
The truth of the selected statement follows from the definition of divisibility and the fact that 7⁰ ? V = 0.
Show that for each integer k≥ 0, if P(k) is true, then P(k + 1) is true: Let k be any integer with k ≥ 0, and suppose that P(k) is true. Select P(k) from the choices below.
7K-2k < 5
5 is a multiple of 7k - 2k
5 is divisible by 7k - 2k
O 7k - 2k is divisible by 5
[This is P(K), the inductive hypothesis.]
We must show that P(k+ 1) is true. Select P(k+1) from the choices below.
5 is a multiple of 7k + 1 - 2k + 1
7k + 1
2k
+1 is divisible by 5
O 7k+ 2k + 1 <5
5 is divisible by 7k + 1
2k + 1
By the inductive hypothesis and the definition of divisibility, there exists an integer r such that 7k - 2k = 5r. Then
2
7k + 12k + 1 = 7.7k
- 2. 2k = (5 + 2) · 7k − 2.2k.
Continue simplifying the right-hand side of the equation, apply the induction hypothesis, and express the result in terms of k and r.
7k + 1 _ - 2k + 1 = 5.
This quantity is an integer because k and r are integers.
Thus 7k + 12k + 1
---Select---divisible by 5, and hence P(k + 1) is ---Select--- ✓ which completes the inductive step.
[Thus both the basis and the inductive steps have been proved, and so the proof by mathematical induction is complete.]
