- Assume the statement from Exercise 30 in section 2.1 that for all and in . Use this assumption and mathematical induction to prove that for all positive integers and arbitrary integers .arrow_forwardLet x and y be integers, and let m and n be positive integers. Use mathematical induction to prove the statements in Exercises 1823. ( The definitions of xn and nx are given before Theorem 2.5 in Section 2.1 ) (m+n)x=mx+nxarrow_forwardLet and be integers, and let and be positive integers. Use mathematical induction to prove the statements in Exercises. The definitions of and are given before Theorem in Sectionarrow_forward
