Question
Define P(n) to be the assertion that: n(n+1)(2n + 1) (a) Verify that P(3) is true. (b) Express P(k). (c) Express P(k + 1). (d) In an inductive proof that for every positive integer n, n(n + 1)(2n + 1) 6 what must be proven in the base case? (c) In an inductive proof that for every positive integer n, n(n+1)(2n + 1) what must be proven in the inductive step? (f) What would be the inductive hypothesis in the inductive step from your previous answer?
