Type of Practice: Modify Eristing Proof to Prove a Similar Claim. This problem asks you to con- struct a proof by mathematical induction by modifying the proof of a very similar result. Claim. For any integer n 2 1. i(+3) Fill in the blanks below with a proof by mathematical induction of this claim. (This is the 7-step process from lecture, tutorial, and described on the induction proof handout). Step 0. For all n2 Step 1. For any n 2 n(n+1)(n+5) 3 we want to show that let P(n) be the property that We want to show that P(n) is true for all n 2. Step 2. As a base case, consider when n that We will show that P Fortunately, is true: that is, Step 3. For the induction hypothesis, suppose (hypothetically) that P(k) were true for some fixed k2. That is, suppose that Step 4. Now we prove that P(k+ 1) is true, using the (hypothetical) induction assumption that P(k) is true. That is, we prove that Step 5. The proof that P(k+ 1) is true (given that P(k) is true) is as follows: left-hand side of P(k+1)= Type of Practice: Modify Eristing Proof to Prove a Similar Claim.
