(c)

(d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): For integer , 4 divides

The proof is as follows:

For n = k, we have:

Multiply through by 4

Next, prove the statement is true for

Express -1 as - 9 + 8

Factorize:

Recall that:

So, we have:

Factorize

Since the above mathematical statement is true, then the given statement has been proved

Solving (b): For integer , 6 divides

The proof is as follows:

For n = k, we have:

Multiply through by 6

Next, prove the statement is true for

Express -1 as - 7 + 6

Factorize:

Recall that:

So, we have:

Factorize

Since the above mathematical statement is true, then the given statement has been proved

Solving (c): For integer , 4 divides

The proof is as follows:

For n = k, we have:

Multiply through by 4
