For every positive integer n, prove that `7^n-3^n`is divisible by 4.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To prove that \(7^n - 3^n\) is divisible by 4 for every positive integer \(n\), we will use the principle of mathematical induction. ### Step 1: Base Case We start with the base case \(n = 1\). \[ 7^1 - 3^1 = 7 - 3 = 4 \] ...
