Prove that the statement
Answer to Problem 64SGR
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The expression:
Concept Used:
A proof by induction consists of two cases. The first, the base case (or basis), proves the statement for n = 1 without assuming any knowledge of other cases. The second case, the induction step, proves that if the statement holds for any given case n = k, then it must also hold for the next case n = k + 1.
Calculation:
Step 1:
Step 2: Assume
Step 3:
Since r is a whole number,
Therefore,
Thus,
