Answer:

31 = 2⁵ -1

31 =  16²- 15²

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that

2¹=2

2²= 4

2³= 8

2⁴= 16

2⁵=32

So

32 = 2⁵

By subtracting 1 in bot sides

32-1 = 2⁵ -1

31 = 2⁵ -1

So

2⁵ -1 = 31

By comparing with

[tex]2^p-1[/tex]

p= 5

As we know that

15²= 225

16² = 256

16²- 15² = 256-225 = 31

16²- 15²  = (16+15)(16-15)

31 =  (16+15)(16-15)
