Question

State the principle of mathematical induction

Answer 1

1)  when a statement is true for a natural number n = k, 
then it will also be true for its successor, n = k + 1; and  
2)  the statement is true for n = 1; then the statement will be true for every natural number n.

Answer 2

HEY THERE,
Basis Step: Prove that P( ) is true. Induction: Prove that for any integer , if P(k) is true (called induction hypothesis), then P(k+1) is true. The first principle of mathematical induction states that if the basis step and the inductive step are proven, then P(n) is true for all natural number .
HOPE THIS HELPS.
