The predicate logic captures 2nd principle of mathematical induction.
since second principle of mathematical induction says that: Let P0, P1, . . . , Pn, . . . be a sequence of propositions, one for each integer n ≥ 0. Suppose that, for some b ≥ 0,
1) P0, P1, . . . , Pb are true, and that
2) For every n ≥ b, if P0, P1, . . . , Pn are all true, then Pn+1 is true.
in other words : For every n ≥ b, if Pk is true for all k : 0 ≤ k ≤ n, then Pn+1 is true. Then all of the propositions P0, P1, . . . , Pn, . . . are true.

Problem 1 148pts] (1) I 10pts! Let P(n) be the statement that l + 2 + + n n(n + 1) / 2 , for every positive integer n. Answer the following (as part of a proof by (weak) mathematical induction): 1. [2pts] Define the statement P(1) 2. [2pts] Show that P(1 is True, completing the basis step. 3. [4pts] Show that if P(k) is True then P(k+1 is also True for k1, completing the induction step. [2pts] Explain why...

11: I can identify the predicate being used in a proof by mathematical induction and use it to set up a framework of assumptions and conclusions for an induction proof. 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...
(a) Suppose you wish to use the Principle of Mathematical Induction to prove that n(n+1) 1+ 2+ ... +n= - for any positive integer n. i) Write P(1). Write P(6. Write P(k) for any positive integer k. Write P(k+1) for any positive integer k. Use the Principle of Mathematical Induction to prove that P(n) is true for all positive integer n. (b) Suppose that function f is defined recursively by f(0) = 3 f(n+1)=2f (n)+3 Find f(1), f (2), f...

I posted these question before but the answers turned out wrong, please help.(Monadic predicate logic) The ones required are = ( tilde ~ for negation, dot • for conjuction, horseshoe ⊃ for material implication( the conditional ), vel ∨ for disjunction, triple bar ≡ for biconditional ) Please use these symbols. translate the following English sentences into Predicate Logic: 1. All philosophers are scientists. (Px, Sx) 2. Some mathematicians are philosophers. (Mx, Px) 3. No chess players are video gamers....
