Proofs by Induction
Purpose: To prove statements or properties that are true for all natural numbers.
Steps:
- Base Case: Verify the statement for the initial value (usually n=1).
- Inductive Hypothesis: Assume the statement is true for some arbitrary natural number n.
- Inductive Step: Prove the statement for n+1, based on the assumption that it’s true for n.
Examples:
