Concept explainers
a)Determine which amounts of postage can be formed using just 4-cent and 11-cent stamps.
b)Prove your answer to (a) using the principle of mathematical induction. Be sure to state explicitly your inductive hypothesis in the inductive step.
c)Prove your answer to (a) using strong induction. How does the inductive hypothesis in this proof differ from that in the inductive hypothesis for a proof using mathematical induction?
