The image contains a question often found in educational materials about logical reasoning in mathematics or geometry. Here's the transcription of the text as it would appear on an educational website:---### QuestionIn a two-column proof, the reasoning of the first step is usually "given."- ○ True- ○ False---There are no graphs or diagrams in the image. The question addresses the format of a two-column proof, a method commonly used in mathematics to organize logical arguments. The left column typically contains statements, and the right column provides the reasoning or justification, with the first step often derived from given information.

Given: Statement: In a two-column proof, the reasoning of the first step is usually "given."

Answered: In a two-column proof, the reasoning of…

Please answer the second question. Question For these statements: • State the base case and prove that it is true. • State the inductive hypothesis • Outline how would you proceed with the rest of the proof by setting up the inductive proofs. Explain roughly what will exactly happen to complete the proof. It's not actually required to do the complete proof. Just give a conclusion.
