\(x^n+y^n\) is divisible by

  1. A \(x-y\) for all \(n \in N\)
  2. B \(x+y\) for all \(n \in N\)
  3. C \(x+y\) for all \(n=2 m-1, m \in N\)
  4. D \(x+y\) for all \(n=2 m, m \in N\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x+y\) for all \(n=2 m-1, m \in N\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(x^n+y^n\) At \(n=1, x+y\), which is divisible by \(x+y\). \(n=2, x^2+y^2\), which is not divisible by \(x+y\). \(n=3, x^3+y^3\), which is divisible by \(x+y\). Hence, clearly \(x^n+y^n\) is divisible by \(n=\) odd numbers as \(n=2 m-1\), where \(M \in N\).
