Suppose you want to prove the following: 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + . . . + 1/2 n < 1 Try to prove this “directly,” using induction. I assume your attempt will fail. Describe the difficulty you run into. Now try another approach: (a) By experimenting with small values of n, guess an exact formula for the sum. (b) Prove that your guess is true. (c) As a corollary conclude: 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + . . . + 1/2 n < 1
(4) Guess a formula for the sum (2n 1) (2n +1) 1.3 3.5 Prove your guess using induction
(4) Guess a formula for the sum (2n 1) (2n +1) 1.3 3.5 Prove your guess using induction
Induction proofs. a. Prove by induction: n sum i^3 = [n^2][(n+1)^2]/4 i=1 Note: sum is intended to be the summation symbol, and ^ means what follows is an exponent b. Prove by induction: n^2 - n is even for any n >= 1 10 points 6) Given: T(1) = 2 T(N) = T(N-1) + 3, N>1 What would the value of T(10) be? 7) For the problem above, is there a formula I could use that could directly calculate T(N)?...
@ prove the following inequality for all nzi, a) Suppose Hat we want to prove this state nat using induction, can we let / our induction hypothesis simply be the above .. assention? Show why this does not work. 6) Try to instand strengthen I the Induetan hypothesis by dlunging on to 34+1 in the above assertion. In other words, prove c) Does proving the new claim in (6) imply, what you were tuying to prone in part lu)?
Prove using mathematical induction that for every positive integer n, = 1/i(i+1) = n/n+1. 2) Suppose r is a real number other than 1. Prove using mathematical induction that for every nonnegative integer n, = 1-r^n+1/1-r. 3) Prove using mathematical induction that for every nonnegative integer n, 1 + i+i! = (n+1)!. 4) Prove using mathematical induction that for every integer n>4, n!>2^n. 5) Prove using mathematical induction that for every positive integer n, 7 + 5 + 3 +.......

Proofs 1) (1.7.16) Prove that if m and n are integers and nm is even, then m is even or n is even. * What is the best approach here, direct proof, proof by contraposition, or proof by contradiction why? * Complete the proof. 2) Prove that for any integer n, n is divisible by 3 iff n2 is divisible by 3. Does your proof work for divisibility by...

Exercise 2.4. Prove the two statements below:Use nd ueTion 1. For every integer n 2 3, the inequality n2 2n +1 holds. Hint: You can prove this by induction if you wish, but alternatively, you can prove directly, without induction.) 2. For every integer n 2 5, the inequality 2" n holds. (Hint: Use induction and the inequality in the previous part of the exercise.)
