If x is a positive integer, is the value of y - z at least twice the value of \(3^x - 5^x\) ?
(1) \(y = 3^{x + 1}\) and \(z = 5^{x + 1}\)
(2) \(x = 5\)
Given: x is a positiveinteger
Asked: Is the value of y - z at least twice the value of\(3^x - 5^x\) ?
\(y-z \geq 3^x - 5^x\)
(1)\(y = 3^{x + 1}\) and\(z = 5^{x + 1}\)
\(y = 3^{x + 1} = 3*3^x\)\(z = 5^{x + 1}=5*5^x\)
\(y-z = 3*3^x - 5*5^x = 2(3^x - 5^x) + (3^x - 3*5^x)\)\(5^x > 3^x\) when x is a positive integer
\((3^x - 3*5^x) < 0\)\( y-z = 3*3^x - 5*5^x =\)
