To prove that if \( n \) is a positive integer not divisible by \( 3 \), then \( 3^{2n} + 3^n + 1 \) is divisible by \( 13 \), we will use mathematical induction. ### Step 1: Base Case Let's check the base case when \( n = 1 \): \[ 3^{2 \cdot 1} + 3^1 + 1 = 3^2 + 3 + 1 = 9 + 3 + 1 = 13 \] Since \( 13 \) is divisible by \( 13 \), the base case holds true. ...
