State whether the statement ‘Mathematical Induction is the process of repeatedly composing a function with itself’ is true or false.
Answer to Problem 2SGR
False; Iteration
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The statement: Mathematical Induction is the process of repeatedly composing a function with itself.
Concept Used:
Principle of Induction: Let P be any property of natural numbers. Suppose P holds of zero, and whenever P holds of a natural number n, then it holds of its successor, n+1. Then P holds of every natural number.
Calculation:
Iteration is the process of repeatedly composing a function with itself.
Thus, this is a false statement. Iteration
