Using the principle of mathematical induction. Prove that `(x^(n)-y^(n))` is divisible by (x+y) for all ` n in N`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

P(n):`x^n−y^n` is divisble by x+y where n is even.
when n=2
`P(2):x^2−y^2` is divisible by x+y
`P(2):(x+y)(x−y)` is divisible by x+y, which is true.
Therefore P(2) is true.
when n=k+2
`x^(k+2)−y^(k+2)=x^(k+2)−x^2y^k+x^2y^k−y^(k+2)`
