6. Given that P(n) is the equation 1· (1!) +2 · (2!) + ...+n· (n!) = (n+1)! – 1, where n is an integer such that n > 1, we will prove that P(n) is true for all n >1 by induction. (a) Base case: i. Write P(1). ii. Show that P(1) is true. In this case, this requires showing that a left-hand side is equal to a right-hand side. (b) Inductive hypothesis: Let k > 1 be a natural number. Assume P(k) is true. Write P(k). (c) Inductive step: i. Write P(k + 1). ii. Use the assumption that P(k) is true to prove that P(k+ 1) is true.
