Question
8. Zombie Euler and Zombie Cauchy, two famous zombie mathematicians, have just signed up for Twitter accounts. After one day, Zombie Cauchy has more followers than Zombie Euler. Each day after that, the number of new followers of Zombie Cauchy is exactly the same as the number of new followers of Zombie Euler (and neither lose any followers). Explain how a proof by mathematical induction can show that on every day after the first day, Zombie Cauchy will have more followers than Zombie Euler. That is, explain what the base case and inductive case are, and why they together prove that Zombie Cauchy will have more followers on the 4th day.

Therefore, starting with F1 = 1 newly born pair in the first month, we can find the number Fk of pairs in the kth month. Using some knowledge of calculus, acquired when studying sequences, we can determine the number of pairs of rabbits in the kth month by setting up the following equation: Fk = (Number of pairs alive the preceding month) + (Number of newly born pairs for the kth month) Since the rabbits do not produce offsprings during the first month of their lives, we can see that the number of newly born pairs for the kth month is the number Fk - 2 of pairs alive…arrow_forwardAssuming every integer is either even or odd, How would I show that for any integer, the difference between it and its cube is evenarrow_forward
