Let P(n) be the assertion that n cents of postage can be formed using only 4-cent and
7-cent stamps.
Theorem: P(n) is true for any integer n such that n 2 18.
Fill in the blanks so that the beginning of the proof of the theorem by strong
induction given below is correct.
(Note: do not add any extra spaces to your answer, the auto grader might not
recognize it.)
Base Case: P(i) is true for
<is
Inductive step: For k >
if all P(j) is true for all
<js
then P(k+1) is true.
