Use Principle of MI to verify
(i) If $$\displaystyle{n}\in\mathbb{Z}$$ is a positive ineger then $$\displaystyle{2}^{{n}}{3}^{{{x}{n}}}-{1}$$ divisible by 17.
(ii) For all positive integers $$\displaystyle{n}\ge{5}$$,

According to the given information it is required to prove the following using principle of mathematical induction.
If $$\displaystyle{n}\in\mathbb{Z}$$ is a positive ineger then $$\displaystyle{2}^{{n}}{3}^{{{2}{n}}}-{1}$$ divisible by 17.
that is: $$\displaystyle{2}^{{n}}{3}^{{{2}{n}}}-{1}={x}^{{n}}{9}^{{n}}-{1}={18}^{{n}}-{1}$$ is divisible by 17
For n = 1
18-1=17
17 is diviseble by 17
so, the statement is true for n=1
Let us assume that the given statement is true for n = k that is:
$$\displaystyle{k}\in{Z}$$ is posisitve integer then $$\displaystyle{2}^{{k}}{3}^{{{2}{k}}}-{1}={18}^{{k}}-{1}$$ is divisible by 17
Now, prove that the statement is true for n = k+1:
So, consider
$$\displaystyle{2}^{{{n}+{1}}}{3}^{{{2}{\left({n}+{1}\right)}}}-{1}={2}^{{n}}\cdot{2}\cdot{3}^{{{2}{n}}}-{1}$$
$$\displaystyle={18}\cdot{2}^{{n}}{3}^{{{2}{n}}}-{1}$$
$$\displaystyle={17}\cdot{2}^{{n}}{3}^{{{2}{n}}}+{2}^{{n}}{3}^{{{2}{n}}}-{1}$$
Now, since
$$\displaystyle{17}\cdot{2}^{{n}}{3}^{{{2}{n}}}$$ is divisible by 17 and from assumption $$\displaystyle{2}^{{n}}{3}^{{{2}{n}}}-{1}$$ is divisible by 17
hence, $$\displaystyle{2}^{{{n}+{1}}}{3}^{{{2}{\left({n}+{1}\right)}}}-{1}$$ is diviseble by 17
Therefore, whenever n = k is true n = k+1 is true.
Therefore, it is true for all integers.
