Prove n4</su
Answer :
(as a2–b2 = (a + b)(a–b))
….. eq (1)
Now, n > 1
n – 1 > 0
Also,
Therefore, and
are distinct positive integers.
So, we can say that
n–1 > 0
Similarly, n + 1 > 0
Therefore, are also distinct.
Thus, from eq(1) n4 + 4 has two distinct factors and 1 as a factor.
So, n4 + 4 is a composite number for n > 1.
