Question

Using binomial theorem, prove that $2^{3\text{n}}-7\text{n}-1$ is divisible by 49 where $\text{n}\in\text{N}.$

Answer

$2^{3\text{n}}-7\text{n}-1$

$=2^{3(\text{n})}-7(\text{n})-1$

$=8^\text{n}-7\text{n}-1$

$=(1+7)^\text{n}-7\text{n}-1$

$==({^\text{n}\text{C}}_0+{^\text{n}\text{C}}_1(7)^1+{^\text{n}\text{C}}_2(7)^2+....{^\text{n}\text{C}}_\text{n}(7)^\text{n})-7\text{n}-1$

$=(1+7\text{n}+49^\text{n}\text{C}_2+......49(7)^{\text{n}-2})-7\text{n}-1$

$=49({^\text{n}\text{C}}_2+......+7^{\text{n}-2})$

$\therefore2^{3\text{n}}-7\text{n}-1$ is divisible by 49

Hence, proved
