Ca you stack them overlappig so the top card completely overhags the table? Iductio Method of provig a statemet P() is true for a, a+1, " Base case (show P(a)) Prove true for = a (ofte, a = 1 or 0) Iductive step Show (>a) P(-1)P() - Assume true for -1 - Show true for Or, show (>a) P(0) P(1) P(-1) P() - Assume true for Show true for How do we kow that P(b) (b# a) is true?

You may fail because you try to prove too much: Your P() is too heavy a burde. Yet, you may also fail because you try to prove too little: Your P() is too weak a support. I geeral, you have to balace the statemet of your theorem so that the support is just eough for the burde. Polya Iductive step Iductive hypothesis To show: 11 1

Use iductio to show that if people come to the meetig, the (-1)/ hadshakes occur. I a roud-robi touramet, show that the teams ca be labeled T1, T,, T such that Ti beats Ti+1 for all 1 $ i $
