Prove these scenarios by mathematical induction:
(1) Prove n2 < 2n for all integers
n>4
(2) Prove that a finite set with n elements has 2n
subsets
(3) Prove that every amount of postage of 12 cents or more can
be formed using just 4-cent and 5-cent stamps
12 pts) Use Mathematical Induction to prove that
an=n3+5n is divisible by 6 when ever
n≥0. You may explicitly use without proof the fact that the product
n(n+1) of consecutive integers n and n+1 is
always even, that is, you must state where you use this fact in
your proof.Write in complete sentences since this is an induction
proof and not just a calculation. Hint:Look up Pascal’s
triangle.
(a)
Verify the initial case n= 0.
(b)
State the induction hypothesis....
Prove by induction on n that the number of distinct handshakes
between n ≥ 2 people in a room is n*(n − 1)/2 .
Remember to state the inductive hypothesis!
Use induction to prove that 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n = n2 + n for n
≥ 1.
Prove this theorem as it is given, i.e., don’t first simplify it
algebraically to some other formula that you may recognize before
starting the induction proof.
I'd appreciate if you could label the steps you take, Thank
you!
1. Use induction to prove that Summation with n terms where i=1
and Summation 3i 2 − 3i + 1 = n^3 for all n ≥ 1.
2. Let X be the set of all natural numbers x with the property
that x = 4a + 13b for some natural numbers a and b. For example, 30
∈ X since 30 = 4(1) + 13(2), but 5 ∈/ X since there’s no way to add
4’s and 13’s together to...
