I have done the base case and some of the inductive..which I'm not sure I'm going in the right direction.
Inductive, So does it hold true for n=k+1
3 raised 2(k+1)+1 +2 raised(k+1)-1 = 3 raised 2k+2+1 +2 raised (k+1)-1
= 3 raised 2k+1 x 3 raised2 + 2 raised k x 2 raised 0
=9 x 3 raised...
Can someone with understanding of proof by induction help with this problem?
Prove by induction that 3 raised to 2n+1 + 2 raised to n-1 is divisible by 7 for all numbers greater than/or equal to 1. How do you do the inductive step?
