Method 1: By Mathematical Induction
(1) We want to prove for all odd integers
the statement
that
is a multiple of 10.
is true. If
is true then consider
:
so
is true and the
result is true for all odd numbers by the axiom of induction.
Similarly
is a multiple of 10 and if
is a
multiple of 10 then
so
this is also a multiple of 10 and the result is true for all odd
numbers by the axiom of induction. Note that
and
are not multiples of 10 so the result is not true for even
numbers.
(2) We have
and
are both multiples of 10. If
is a multiple of 10 then
so
this is a multiple of 10 and the result is true for all even
numbers. Similarly
is a multiple of 10 and if
is
a multiple of 10 then
which is a multiple of 10 and so the result is true for all even
numbers.Note that
and
are not multiples of 10
and the result is not true for odd powers.
(3) The corresponding results are
and
are
multiples of 10 when
is an even number which can be proved by
induction.
(4) Similarly
and
are multiples of 10 when
is an odd number which can be proved by induction.
Proof using the Binomial Theorem
All the terms of the Binomial expansion involve powers of 10 apart
from the term
so the expression is a multiple of 10 when
is odd but not when
is even.
The same method works for all other parts of the question.
