Using the principle of mathematical induction prove that for all n belongs toN:
2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n
... + 2n = n² + n.
Answers
★To prove:-
For all n belongs to N,
2 + 4 + 6 + ...+ 2n = n² + n.
★Proof:-
Let,
- f(n) :2 + 4 + 6+ …+2n = n²+ n
Then f(l) will be:
f(l): 2 = l² + 1
= 2
Therefore,
f(l) is true
Let f(n) is true for some natural number n = p.
Then,
→f(p): 2 + 4 + 6 +...+2p = p² + p---(1)
Now,
f(p + l): 2 + 4 + 6 + 8+ …+2p+ 2 (p+1)
From equation (1),
➜ p² + p + 2(p+ 1)
➜ p² + p + 2p + 2
➜ p² + 2p+1+p+1
➜ (p+1)² + p+1
Hence,
We can see that f(p + 1) is true whenever f(p) is true.
Hence,
By the principle of mathematical induction, for any natural number n,
2 + 4 + 6 + ... +2n = n² + n.

Question:
Using the principle of mathematical induction prove that for all n belongs toN:
2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n
... + 2n = n² + n.
WE HAVE TO PROOVE:
For all n belongs to N, 2 + 4 + 6 + ...+ 2n = n² + n.
Proof:
➪Let
f(n) :2 + 4 + 6+ …+2n = n²+ n
Then f(l) will be:
f(l): 2 = l² + 1
= 2
Therefore,
f(l) is true
Let f(n) is true for some natural number n = p.
Then,
f(p): 2 + 4 + 6 +...+2p = p² + p---(1)
Now,
f(p + l): 2 + 4 + 6 + 8+ …+2p+ 2 (p+1)
From equation (1),
p² + p + 2(p+ 1)
p² + p + 2p + 2
p² + 2p+1+p+1
(p+1)² + p+1
Hence,
We can see that f(p + 1) is true whenever f(p) is true.
Therefore
By the principle of mathematical induction, for any natural number n,
2 + 4 + 6 + ... +2n = n² + n.
