Prove, by induction that ∀n∈N, 3^4n+2^(4n+2) is divisible by 5.

  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
    +close
  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

Start by picking up values

#

like n=1

#

I have done up to true for n = k + 1

#

for n = k i did

#

3^4k = 5m - 2^4k+2

#

I was just trying to verify my answer since my teacher did not post nay

#

i got
5 (81m - 32^4k+2 x 16)
