The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to verify the statement \( P(3) \) which asserts that \( 2^{3n} - 1 \) is an integral multiple of 7 for \( n = 3 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Substitute \( n = 3 \) into the expression**: \[ P(3) : 2^{3 \cdot 3} - 1 = 2^9 - 1 \] 2. **Calculate \( 2^9 \)**: \[ 2^9 = 512 \] 3. **Subtract 1 from \( 2^9 \)**: \[ 2^9 - 1 = 512 - 1 = 511 \] 4. **Check if 511 is an integral multiple of 7**: To determine if 511 is divisible by 7, we perform the division: \[ 511 \div 7 = 73 \] Since 73 is an integer, this means that 511 is indeed an integral multiple of 7. 5. **Conclusion**: Since \( 511 \) is divisible by \( 7 \), we conclude that \( P(3) \) is true. ### Final Answer: Thus, the statement \( P(3) \) is true. ---
