The correct Answer is:
To find the greatest possible divisor of the expression \(3n^{2n + 3} - 24n - 27\) for every \(n \in \mathbb{N}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Substitute \(n = 1\) Let's start by substituting \(n = 1\) into the expression: \[ 3(1)^{2(1) + 3} - 24(1) - 27 \] Calculating this gives: \[ 3(1^5) - 24 - 27 = 3 - 24 - 27 \] \[ = 3 - 51 = -48 \] ### Step 2: Find the absolute value Since we are looking for divisors, we take the absolute value: \[ |-48| = 48 \] ### Step 3: Factor 48 Next, we need to find the factors of 48. The prime factorization of 48 is: \[ 48 = 2^4 \times 3^1 \] The factors of 48 are: \[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \(n = 2\) Now, let's check for \(n = 2\): \[ 3(2)^{2(2) + 3} - 24(2) - 27 \] Calculating this gives: \[ 3(2^7) - 48 - 27 = 3(128) - 48 - 27 \] \[ = 384 - 48 - 27 = 384 - 75 = 309 \] ### Step 5: Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) Now we need to find the GCD of the results from \(n = 1\) and \(n = 2\): - From \(n = 1\), we have 48. - From \(n = 2\), we have 309. The factors of 309 are: \[ 1, 3, 103, 309 \] ### Step 6: Determine the GCD Now we find the GCD of 48 and 309. The common factors of 48 and 309 are: - The only common factor is 3. ### Conclusion The greatest possible divisor of \(3n^{2n + 3} - 24n - 27\) for every \(n \in \mathbb{N}\) is: \[ \boxed{3} \]
