Use strong induction to prove the following statement: A chocolate bar consists of indi- vidual squares. You want to split the chocolate bar into individual pieces by breaking it along straight lines using the minimum number of total breaks. If the bar has n squares, then it takes n - 1 breaks to split the bar into individual pieces. Use induction on n to prove the following: Letz ER with r>-1. Then for all n € N, (1+r)">1+n.
