given,
1+3+3²+...+3^n-1 = 1/2(3^n-1)
let the given statement be p(n) and then
p( n ) = 1+3+3²+...+3^n-1 = 1/2(3^n-1)
putting n=1 in the given statement,we get
L.h. s= 1
and R.H.S= 1/2(3¹-1)
= 2/2
=1 which is equal to R H.S
Thus, p(1) is true.
let p(k) be true , then
p(k)= 1+3+3²+..+3^k-1=1/2(3^k -1)
adding 3^k to both sides
1+3+3²+...+3^k-1+3^k = 1/2(3^k-1)+3k
= 1/2(3^k+1 - 1)
