Prove the following by using the principle of mathematical
induction for all n
∈ N:
Answer :
Let the given statement be P(n), i.e.,
P(n): 1 + 3 + 32 +
…+
3n–1 =
For n = 1, we have
P(1): 1 =, which is true.
Let P(k) be true for some positive integer k, i.e.,
We shall now prove that P(k + 1) is true.
Consider
1 + 3 + 32 + … + 3k–1 + 3(k+1) – 1
= (1 + 3 + 32 +… + 3k–1) + 3k
Thus, P(k + 1) is true whenever P(k) is true.
Hence, by the principle of mathematical induction, statement P(n) is true for all natural numbers i.e., n.

Prove the following by using the principle of mathematical
induction for all n
∈ N:
Answer :
Let the given statement be P(n), i.e.,
P(n):
For n = 1, we have
P(1): 13 = 1 =, which is true.
Let P(k) be true for some positive integer k, i.e.,
We shall now prove that P(k + 1) is true.
Consider
13 + 23 + 33 + … + k3 + (k + 1)3
= (13 + 23 + 33 +
…. +
k3) + (k + 1)3
Thus, P(k + 1) is true whenever P(k) is true.
Hence, by the principle of mathematical induction, statement P(n) is true for all natural numbers i.e., n.
