The following sentences are enumerated. Put them in order as presented in the lesson
material to create a proof of Theorem 5.1.1. that uses an induction argument. Enter
your answer as a 6 digit integer. (For example, 123456 is in a valid format for an
answer, but it is incorrect.)
1. Inductive step: Assume that P(n) is true, that is equation (5.1) holds for some
nonnegative integer n.
2. So it follows by induction that P(n) is true for all nonnegative n.
3. We use induction.
4. Base case: P(0) is true, because both sides of equation (5.1) equal zero when
= 0.
5. The induction hypothesis P(n) will be equation (5.1).
6. Then adding n+1 to both sides of the equation implies that
п(п + 1)
1+2+ 3+ ·..+n+ (n + 1)
+ (n + 1)

(n + 1)(n + 2)
