This is a true statement and Condition I is satisfied. Next, we assume the statement holds for some k. That is, (k - ) = k (k + ) is true for some positive integer k. We need to show that the statement holds for k +. That is, we need to show that ((k + ) - ) = k + ((k + ) + ). So we assume that (k - ) = k (k + ) is true and add the next term, (k + ) -, to both sides of the equation (k - ) + (k + ) - = k (k + ) + (k + ) - = [k(k + ) + 0(k + ) - 4] = (k + k + 0k + 0-4) = (k + k + 6) = (k + )(k + 6) = k + (k + + ) = k + ((k + ) + ) Condition II is satisfied. As a result, the statement is true for all natural numbers n. 6

7 Answer Key Testname: CHPRAC 36) First, we show that the statement is true when n =. For n =, n - n + = () - () + =. This is a true statement and Condition I is satisfied. Next, we assume the statement holds for some k. That is, k - k + is divisible by is true for some positive integer k. We need to show that the statement holds for k +. That is, we need to show that (k + ) - (k + ) + is divisible by. So we assume k - k + is divisible by and look at the expression for n = k +. (k + ) - (k + ) + = k + k + - k - + = (k - k + ) + k Since k - k + is divisible by, then k - k + = m for some integer m. Hence, (k + ) - (k + ) + = (k - k + ) + k = m + k = (m + k). Condition II is satisfied. As a result, the statement is true for all natural numbers n. 37) First we show that the statement is true when n =. 9()( + ) For n =, we get 9 = = 9. This is a true statement and Condition I is satisfied. Next, we assume the statement holds for some k. That is, 9k(k + ) k = is true for some positive integer k. We need to show that the statement holds for k +. That is, we need to show that 9(k + )(k + ) (k + ) =. So we assume that k = equation k + 9(k + ) = = = 9k(k + ) 9k(k + ) + 9(k + ) 9[k(k + ) + (k + )] 9(k + )(k + ) Condition II is satisfied. As a result, the statement is true for all natural numbers n. 38) x8-0x6y + 0x4y - 00x y 3 + 6y 4 39) 9,440 40) -,963,776x3y is true and add the next term, 9(k + ), to both sides of the 7
