Question

choose all correct answers:

1)proof is wrong

2) proof is correct.

3) the base case is incorrect

4)The proof is incorrect because the Inductive Hypothesis was not stated.

5) there is a problem with inductive step.

 

Consider the following:
Claim:
1+n 1+(n+ 1),/1+(n+2),/1+(n+3),/.=n+1.
Base case: When n = 0, we have /1+0...=0+ 1, and this is true.
||
Inductive step: Assume that the identity holds for some n and let us prove it holds for n + 1. By
squaring both sides we get
1+n/1+(n+1),/1+ (n+ 2),/1+ (n+3),/-.=n² + 2n + 1.
Subtracting 1 and dividing by n, we get
|1+ (n+1),/1+ (n +2),/1+(n+ 3)/..=n+2,
which is what we wanted to show. I

Expert Solution
Step 1

Mathematical induction:

Mathematical induction could be a methodology of proving that a press release, a formula, or a theorem is true for all natural numbers.
The approach entails 2 phases to prove some extent.
It shows that a press release is true for the beginning worth in step one (base step).
It shows that if a press release is true for the ordinal iteration (or variety n), it is likewise true for the (n+1)th iteration (or variety n+1).
