Let f, define the Fibonacci numbers, where fo = 0, f₁ = 1, and fn+2= fn+1+fn for all n > 0. Let P (n) be the statement f₁f₂ +f₂f3 + f3f4 + + f2n-1f2n = (f2n)². Now, prove P(n), the base case, and prove it. (a) [4 Pts] State P (1), the base case, and prove it. (b) [4 Pts] State P (k), which you assume, and P (k+1), which you prove in the inductive step. (c) [6 Pts] Prove the inductive step. Hint: Substitute f2k + f2k+1 with f2k+2. Let f, define the Fibonacci numbers, where fo = 0, f₁ = 1, and fn+2= fn+1+fn for all n > 0.
