Example C
Consider a plane that has lying in it k nonparallel lines. Into how many sepa-
rate compartments will the plane be divided if not more than two lines inter-
sect in the same point?
Let Nk be the number of compartments. Therefore, the (k +1)th line will
be cut by the k previous lines in k points and, consequently, divides each of
the k +1 prior existing compartments into two. This gives
Nk+1 = Nk + (k + 1).
