Use strong induction to show that every positive integer n can be written as a sum...

Use strong induction to show that every positive integer n can be written as a sum of distinct powers of two, that is, as a sum of a subset of the integers 2^0 =1, 2^1 = 2, 2^2 = 4, and so on. [Hint: For the inductive step, separately consider the case where k + 1 is even and where it is odd. When it is even, note that (k + 1)/2 is an integer.]

a. Use mathematical induction to prove that for any positive integer ?, 3 divide ?^3 + 2? (leaving no remainder). Hint: you may want to use the formula: (? + ?)^3= ?^3 + 3?^2 * b + 3??^2 + ?^3. b. Use strong induction to prove that any positive integer ? (? ≥ 2) can be written as a product of primes.

Please be able to follow the COMMENT Use induction proof to prove that For all positive integers n we have the inequality n<=2^n here is the step: base step: P(1)= 1<=2^1 inductive step: k+1<= 2^(k)+1 <= 2^(k)+k (since k>=1) <= 2^(k)+2^(k) = 2X2^(k) =2^(k+1) i don't understand why 1 can be replaced by k and i don't know why since k>=1
