Capitolo 9, Problema 15
Use mathematical induction to prove that each statement is true for every positive integer n. 3 + 7 + 11 + ... + (4n - 1) = n(2n + 1)
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the statement to prove using mathematical induction: For every positive integer \(n\), the sum \(3 + 7 + 11 + \dots + (4n - 1)\) equals \(n(2n + 1)\).
Start with the base case: Verify the statement for \(n = 1\). Substitute \(n = 1\) into both sides of the equation and check if they are equal.
Assume the statement is true for some positive integer \(k\), that is, assume \(3 + 7 + 11 + \dots + (4k - 1) = k(2k + 1)\) holds. This is the induction hypothesis.
Use the induction hypothesis to prove the statement for \(n = k + 1\). Write the sum up to \(k + 1\) terms as the sum up to \(k\) terms plus the next term: \(3 + 7 + 11 + \dots + (4k - 1) + [4(k + 1) - 1]\).
Substitute the induction hypothesis into this expression and simplify algebraically to show that the sum equals \((k + 1)(2(k + 1) + 1)\), completing the induction step.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Mathematical Induction
Mathematical induction is a proof technique used to verify statements for all positive integers. It involves two steps: proving the base case (usually n=1) is true, and then proving that if the statement holds for an arbitrary integer k, it also holds for k+1. This establishes the statement for all positive integers.
