Question 30 Q(n) is a statement parameterized by a positive integer n. The following theorem is proven by induction: Theorem: For any positive integer n, Q(n) is true. What must be proven in the inductive step? O For any integer k > 1, Q (k) implies Q(n). O For any integer k > 1, Q(k). For any integer k > 1, Q(k) implies Q(k+1). O For any integer k > 1. Q(k – 1) implies Q(k).
