Using principle of mathematical induction, prove that 7^(4^(n)) -1 is divisible by 2^(2n+3) for any naturalnumber n.

Answer»

<P>

Solution :Let `P(n) = 7^(4^(th)) - 1` be divisible by `2^(2n+3)`
`P(1) = 7^(4) - 1= (7^(2) - 1) (7^(2) + 1)`
` = 48 xx 50= 32 xx 75`
`= 2^(5) xx 75`.
whichis divisibleby `2^(2xx1+3)`
Let usassume that the result is truefor n` = k`.
i.e, `7^(4^(k)) - I` is divisible by `2^(2k+3)`but not by `2^(2k+4)`.
`rArr 7^(4^(k)) - 1 = 2^(2k+3)`m , wherem issome oddnatural number
Now, `7^(4^(k+1)) - 1 = (7^(4^(k)))^(4-1)`
`= ((2^(2k+3)m+1)^(2) +1)((2^(2k+3)m+1)^(2)-1)`
`= ((2^(2k+3)m+1)^(2) +1)(2^(2k+3)+2)(2^(2k+3)m)`
`= (2^(4k+6)m^(2) + 2^(2k+4) m + 2)(2^(2k+3)m + 2) (2^(2k+3)m)` ltbr `= 2^(2k-5)(2^(4k+5)m^(2) + 2^(2k+3) m + 1)(2^(2^(2k+2)m +1) (m),`
Which is divisivble by `2^(2k+5)`
Thus, `P(k + 1)` is true whenever `P(k)`is true.
So, by the PRINCIPLE of MATHEMATICAL induction, `P(n)` is true for any natural number n.

The shortest distance between the lines 2x+y+z-1=0=3x+y+2z-2 and x=y=z, is

Answer»

`1/sqrt(2)` UNITS
`sqrt(2)` units
`3/sqrt(2)` units
`sqrt(3)/2` units

Solution :Any plane passing through FIRST line is `2x+y=z-1+lambda(3x+y+2z-2)=0`
Line x=y=z is passing through the point O(0,0,).
Required shortest distance = distance of O from the member plane of above family which is parallel to the line x=y=z
If plane is parallel to the line,
`(2x+3lambda)1+(1+lambda)1+(1+2lambda)1=0`
`RARR lambda=-2/3`
Equation of plane is
`3(2x+y+z-1)-2(3x+y+2z-2)=0`
or `y-z+1=0`
Its distance from (0,0,0) is `1/sqrt(2)`.

Using properties evaluate the following definite integrals, evaluate the following: int_0^1 x(1-x)^n dx

Answer»

SOLUTION :`int_0^1 X(1-x)^N DX`
=`int_0^1 (1-x)(1-(1-x))^n dx`
=`int_0^1 (1-x) x^n dx = int_0^1(x^n-x^(n+1))dx`
=[x^(n+1)/(n+1) - x^(n+2)/(n+2)]_0^1`
= 1/(n+1) -1/(n+2) = `((n+2)-(n+1))/((n+1)(n+2))`
