For (n N , x^ n+1 +(x+1)^ 2 n-1 ) is divisible by
Options
- A(x )
- B(x+1 )
- C(x^2+x+1 )
- D(x^2-x+1 )
Correct answer
C. (x^2+x+1 )
Step-by-step solution
For (n=1 ), we have; (x^ n+1 +(x+1)^ 2 n-1 =x^2+(x+1)=x^2+x+1 , ) which is divisible by (x^2+x+1 ) For (n=2 ), we have; (x^ n+1 +(x+1)^ 2 n-1 ) (=x^3+(x+1)^3=(2 x+1) (x^2+x+1 ) , ) which is divisible by (x^2+x+1 ).
