Prove by induction:
1 + 1/4 + 1/9 +⋯+ 1/?^2 < 2 − 1/?,
for all integers ?>1
We will use induction on
to prove that ,
for
.
Base Step : For
,
As ,
So the statement is true for
.
Induction Hypothesis : Suppose the statement is
true for
that is ,
Induction Step : For
,
, Using induction Hypothesis .
, as
.
So ,
.
That is the statement is true for
if we assume it is true for
. Also the statement is true for
. Hence by induction on
the statement is true for all
or for all
.
Hence ,
for
.
