LHS= a + (a+d)+ (a+2d)...n
RHS=n/2[2a+(n-1)d]
Basic step :
For n=1 , LHS = a
RHS=1/2[2a]=a ....... (true)
For n=k , LHS = a+ (a+d) + (a+2d) + .... (a+kd)
RHS=k/2[2a+(k-1)d]=k/2[2a+kd-d]
To obtain the (k+1)th term , we add (k+1) to both sides of the equation.
LHS= a+(a+d)...(a+kd)+(a+kd+d)
RHS= k/2[2a+kd-d]+a+kd+d
=ak+k2d/2-dk/2+a+kd+d
=1/2[2ak+k2d-dk+2a+2dk+2d]
=1/2[2ak+dk2+dk+d+d+a]
RHS=n/2[2a+(n-1)d]
Basic step :
For n=1 , LHS = a
RHS=1/2[2a]=a ....... (true)
For n=k , LHS = a+ (a+d) + (a+2d) + .... (a+kd)
RHS=k/2[2a+(k-1)d]=k/2[2a+kd-d]
To obtain the (k+1)th term , we add (k+1) to both sides of the equation.
LHS= a+(a+d)...(a+kd)+(a+kd+d)
RHS= k/2[2a+kd-d]+a+kd+d
=ak+k2d/2-dk/2+a+kd+d
=1/2[2ak+k2d-dk+2a+2dk+2d]
=1/2[2ak+dk2+dk+d+d+a]
