Question
Are there a way where I can turn 6d = k(k^2 + 5) to 6 ( an integer ) = k+1 ((k+1)^2 + 5)?
The following is a proof by induction showing that \( n(n^2 + 5) \) is divisible by 6 for each integer \( n \geq 0 \).

**Proof (by induction)**

1. **Base Case: \( n = 0 \)**

   \( P(0): 0(0^2 + 5) \) is divisible by 6?

   \( 6 \cdot 0 = 0 \) since \( 6 \cdot 0 = 0 \). 

   Therefore, true for \( n = 0 \).

2. **Inductive Step: Assume \( P(k) \) is true implies \( P(k+1) \) is true**

   Let \( k \in \mathbb{Z} \) such that \( k \geq 0 \). Assume 

   \( P(k) \) is true; that is, \( k(k^2 + 5) \) is divisible by 6.

   So this means that \( 6d = k(k^2 + 5) \) for some integer \( d \), by the definition of divisibility.

   **Need to Show (NTS):**
   
   \( k+1((k+1)^2 + 5) \) is divisible by 6
   
   \( 6 \mid k+1((k+1)^2 + 5) \Rightarrow 6d = k+1((k+1)^2 + 5)\)

   **Now,**

   \( 6d = k(k^2 + 5) \) implies that... (followed by further calculations not shown).

The proof involves checking the initial base case and then assuming the property holds for \( n = k \) and proving it holds for \( n = k+1 \). Additional steps are needed to complete the inductive step.
