  1. A an even integer
  2. B an odd integer, not a prime
  3. C an odd prime integer
  4. D an integer less than 9
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) an odd prime integer

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( f(n) = 2^{4n+3}+3^{3n+1} \) \( f(1) = 2^{4(1)+3}+3^{3(1)+1} = 2^7+3^4 = 128+81 = 209 \) \( 209 = 11 \cdot 19 \) \( 2^{4n+3}+3^{3n+1} = 8 \cdot (2^4)^n + 3 \cdot (3^3)^n = 8 \cdot 16^n + 3 \cdot 27^n \) \( \equiv 8 \cdot 5^n + 3 \cdot 5^n \pmod{11} \)…
