1.
Prove by the induction
Since the base of induction is:
Hence, we proved the base of induction.
Now, we will assume, that the statement (*) is true for every Let's prove for
Prove by the induction (by r)
The induction assumption is that for every such that: the statement (*) is true. Let's prove it for We should check the following:
We can apply the induction assumption to both of the summands in the following way:
For the first summand:
We obtain the following(by using the (*)):
By applying the induction assumption and (*) to the second summand we obtain:
Thus we should check if:
This is true.
We prove
2.
where are some integers.
Let's use the statement:
By applying this fact times, we obtain the following:
Thus where are some integers.
