In a formal proof by mathematical induction, suppose that we have concluded the Base Case, P(0) , and we want to use the Mathematical Induction inference rule to conclude the final line of the proof, Vn > 0: P(n). To apply the Mathematical Induction rule, we must know one additional fact. What is it? We need to have made the assumption [k > 0] We need to have derived the Inductive Conclusion, P(k+ 1). O We need to have derived the implication, P(k) → P(k + 1). We need to have proven Vn > 0: P(n) → P(n + 1). We need to have proven En > 0: P(n) → P(n+1).
