Use the Principle of Mathematical Induction to show that the statement is true for all natural numbers n.Use the Principle of Mathematical Induction to show that the statement "5 is a factor of 7n - 2n" is true for all natural numbers. (Hint: 

What will be an ideal response?


When , so the statement is true when . Assume the statement is true for some natural number k. That is,  for some integer m. Then,
 .
So the statement is true for . Conditions I and II are satisfied; by the Principle of Mathematical Induction, the statement is true for all natural numbers.
