Since P(1) is true and P(k)
Thus, P(k+ 1) is true (Follow the equalities and compare this with P(k+ 1)).
implies P(k+ 1), we have P(n) is true for all z>1.
One more example to help this sink in. It is not necessary to use the P(n) language. Instead, we refer to
P(n) as "the statement."
Result. Prove that 1+ 2+3+..+n
2n+1) for all integers n 2 4.
A Open i
Proof. For the base case, we show that the statement is true for n 4. The left side is 1+2+3+4 10
4(4+1)
and the right side is
10. so the statement is true for n= 4. Suppose the statement is true for some
integer k 2 4, that is, suppose
A (k +1)
1+2+3+ +k=
(this is the induction hypothesis) We must prove that
