Here's the Solution to this Question

i) 1^2+3^2+5^2+...+(2n+1)^2=\frac {(n+1)(2n+1)(2n+3)}{3}


Basis step: n=0

1^2=\frac {1\cdot1\cdot3}{3}=1


Inductive Step: Assume that n=k

Inductive Hypothesis:

1^2+3^2+5^2+...+(2k+1)^2=\frac {(k+1)(2k+1)(2k+3)}{3}


Prove that

1^2+3^2+5^2+...+(2k+1)^2+(2k+3)^2=\frac {(k+2)(2k+3)(2k+5)}{3}


We have:

1^2+3^2+5^2+...+(2k+1)^2+(2k+3)^2=\frac {(k+1)(2k+1)(2k+3)}{3}+(2k+3)^2=

=(2k+3)\frac {(k+1)(2k+1)(2k+3)+3(2k+3)}{3}=\frac {(2k+3)(2k^2+9k+10)}{3}=

=\frac {(2k+3)(2k+5)(2k+2)}{3}

Therefore, the given formula is truth.


ii) 3+3\cdot5+3\cdot5^2+... +3\cdot5^n=\frac {3(5^{n+1}-1)}{4}


Basis Step: n=0

3=\frac {3(5-1)}{4}=3


Inductive step: Assume that n=k

Inductive Hypothesis:

3+3\cdot5+3\cdot5^2+... +3\cdot5^k=\frac {3(5^{k+1}-1)}{4}


Prove that

3+3\cdot5+3\cdot5^2+... +3\cdot5^k+3\cdot5^{k+1}=\frac {3(5^{k+2}-1)}{4}


We have:

3+3\cdot5+3\cdot5^2+... +3\cdot5^k+3\cdot5^{k+1}=\frac {3(5^{k+1}-1)}{4}+3\cdot5^{k+1}=

=\frac {3(5^{k+1}-1)+4\cdot3\cdot5^{k+1}}{4}=\frac {3(5^{k+1}-1+4\cdot5^{k+1})}{4}=

=\frac {3(5^{k+1}(1+4)-1)}{4}=\frac {3(5^{k+2}-1)}{4}

Therefore, the given formula is truth.
