Consider the statement that 3n – 2 is an odd number for all n = 1,2, 3, .... Which of the following statements is necessary to prove the statement via mathematical induction? I) Assume 3k – 2 is an odd number, then 3(k+1)-2 is also an odd number. II) Let n be arbitrary. Show that 3 * n – 2 is an odd number. III) Show that 3·1 – 2 is an odd number. IV) Pick two values of n at random and show that the statement is true for these chosen n values. Multiple choice: a) “I only" b) “II only" c) “III only" d) “IV only"
