I have done it, but I am not sure that the inductive step is right. Can anybody please clear me about it?
Basic steps as:
Taking n=1: p(1)=5−1=4.
Inductive hypothesis: Assume the statement is true for p(k). 5k−1 is divisible by 4.
Inductive steps: We must show p(k+1) is true when p(k) is true. 5k−1+5k+1−15k−1+5.5k−1(5k−1)+4
