Question
We need to use induction to show and prove the attached problem. I know that we need to prove the base case is true, assume true for n, then show for n+1. However I am not sure how to use induction for this. I did find that we have multiple cases that do prove to be true.
For n greater than or equal to 24, we have the following base cases for n:
24: (5 x 2) + (7 x 2),
25: 5 x 5,
26: 5 + (7 x 3),
27: (5 x 4) + 7,
28: 7 x 4
29: (5 x 3) + (7 x 2)
30: 5 x 6
31: (5 x 2) + (7 x 3)
What seems to be the pattern based on these above base cases, and how would we show induction here?
