1 Examples o Mathematical Iductio: Sum of product of itegers Created by Mr. Fracis Hug Last updated: December, 07. Prove that = for =,,, Let P() = for =,,, =, LHS = = ; RHS = = P() is true. Suppose P() is true. i.e = for some > 0 Whe = +, LHS = ( + ) + = + ( + ) + = = = = RHS If P() is true the P( + ) is also true. By the priciple of mathematical iductio, P() is true for all positive.. 00 Additioal Mathematics Q (a) (b) Prove, by mathematical iductio, that () + ( ) + ( ) + + ( + )( ) = ( + ) for all positive itegers.
