Expert Solution
Step 1: First Principle of Finite Induction:

Statement: LetP open parentheses n close parentheses be a statement associated with each positive integer n.

If open parentheses i close parentheses P open parentheses 1 close parentheses is true and

open parentheses i i close parentheses for m element of straight natural numbersP open parentheses m close parentheses is true implies that P open parentheses m plus 1 close parentheses is also true,

then, the statement P open parentheses n close parentheses is true for all positive integer n.
