Prove that for all positive integers $n, 9|(11^n − 2^n )$
So the base case would be
9 * k = (11*1 - 2 * 1)
9 * k = 9
k = 1 so yes
The inductive hypothesis would be the fact that $(11^n-2^n)$ is divisible by $9,$
So I thought then I would have to show that $(11^{(n+1)}-2^{(n+1)})$ is divisible by$ 9$
11^(n+1) - 2^(n+1)
11^(n) * 11^1 - 2^n * 2^1
(11-2) * (11^n-2^n)
9*(11^n-2^n)
Is this algebraically correct?
