Prove that for any natural n the number 3^(n+4)−3^n is divisible by 16.

Proved (See Explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Show that 3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ is divisible by 16.

This is done as follows

From laws of indices;

aᵐ⁺ⁿ = aᵐ * aⁿ.

So, 3ⁿ⁺⁴ can be written as 3ⁿ * 3⁴.

becomes

Factorize

3ⁿ * 5

5(3ⁿ)

The expression can not be further simplified.

However, we can conclude that when 3ⁿ⁺⁴ - 3ⁿ is divisible by 16, because 5(3ⁿ) is a natural whole number as long as n is a natural whole number.

ad = ae + ed = y + 7

similar triangles therefor

ac/ab = ad/ae

6/4 = (y + 7) / y

cross multiply

6y = 4(y + 7)

6y = 4y + 28

2y = 28

y = 14
