Manipal MET2018MathematicsBinomial Theorem
The statement P(n)=9^n-8^n , when divided 8 , always leaves the remainder
Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D7
Correct answer
A. 1
Step-by-step solution
Given, P(n)=9^n-8^n P(1)=9-8=1 P( l )- l =0 , which is divisible by 8 . Now, P(2)=9^2-8^2=17 When divided by 8 , it leaves the remainder 1 .
