11: I can identify the predicate being used in a proof by mathematical induction and use...
Below are three statements that can be proven by induction. You do not need to prove these statements! For each one: clearly state the predicate involved; state what you would need to prove in the base case; clearly state the induction hypothesis in terms of the language of the proposition (i.e., without using notation to represent the predicate); and then clearly state the inductive step in terms of the language of the proposition. 1. For all positive integers n, 3...
"Proof by Mathematical Induction" is an important technique to know. We can use this technique to prove the following equation: 12+32+52 +(2n+1)2 (n+1) (2n+1) (2n+3)/3 note: n starts at 0, I.E. n 0, 1, 2, 3... To do so: (1) What is the basic step? (state the basic step, and write it using the formula above) (2) What is the inductive step? (state the inductive step, and write it using the formula above) you don't need to prove it, just...
DISCRETE MATHEMATIC For question 1, Use mathematical induction to prove the statements are correct for n ∈ Z+(set of positive integers). 1. Prove that for n ≥ 1 1 + 8 + 15 + ... + (7n - 6) = [n(7n - 5)]/2 For question 2, Use a direct proof, proof by contraposition or proof by contradiction. 2. Let m, n ≥ 0 be integers. Prove that if m + n ≥ 59 then (m ≥ 30 or n ≥...
Discrete Math 11. (8 pts) Use mathematical induction to prove that Fan+1 = F. + F for all integers n 20, where Fn is the Fibonacci sequence defined recursively by Fo = 1, F = 1, and F F 1+F2 for n 22. Write in complete sentences since this is a proof exercise.
In the following problem, we will work through a proof of an important theorem of arithmetic. Your job will be to read the proof carefully and answer some questions about the argument. Theorem (The Division Algorithm). For any integer n ≥ 0, and for any positive integer m, there exist integers d and r such that n = dm + r and 0 ≤ r < m. Proof: (By strong induction on the variable n.) Let m be an arbitrary...
1. Prove the following statement by mathematical induction. For all positive integers n. 2++ n+1) = 2. Prove the following statement by mathematical induction. For all nonnegative integers n, 3 divides 22n-1. 3. Prove the following statement by mathematical induction. For all integers n 27,3" <n!
Let S(n) be a statement parameterized by a positive integer n. Consider a proof that uses strong induction to prove that for all n 4.S(n) is true. The base case proves that S(4), S(5), S(6), S(7), and S(8) are all true. Select the correct expressions to complete the statement of what is assumed and proven in the inductive step. Supposed that for k> (1?),s() is true for everyj in the range 4 through k. Then we will show that (22)...
Please note n's are superscripted. (a) Use mathematical induction to prove that 2n+1 + 3n+1 ≤ 2 · 4n for all integers n ≥ 3. (b) Let f(n) = 2n+1 + 3n+1 and g(n) = 4n. Using the inequality from part (a) prove that f(n) = O(g(n)). You need to give a rigorous proof derived directly from the definition of O-notation, without using any theorems from class. (First, give a complete statement of the definition. Next, show how f(n) =...
