Can u please help me with this question..
I find that when i test eg: n=2 for n (n+1) /4,
it seems that it does not giving me the right answer of 1^3 + 2^3 = 9
but 3/2... i'm confuse..can u please help me..thanks so much

Anonymous pose la question : How can you prove the following by induction:
Any fraction (A / B), where 0 < (A / B) < 1, can be expressed as a finite sum
(1 / c(1)) + (1 / c(2)) + (1 / c(3)) + ... + (1 / c(k)),
where c(1), c(2), ..., c(k) are natural numbers greater than 0.

The Principle of Mathematical Induction |
2007-12-15 |

iris pose la question : we have some confusion in our problem. Please help us.
We would like to know "the principle of mathematical induction"
(i) for n=1, p(1) is true.
(ii) assume that for n=k>=1, p(k) is true we have to prove p(k+1) is true. Here (Is n=k>=1 true? or Is n=k.1 true?)

A faulty induction argument |
2007-10-31 |
|
snehal pose la question : Find the problem in the following argument. Try to give another example
that illustrates the same problem.
Claim: All Fibonacci numbers are even.
Proof: We will use strong induction. Let P(n) be the proposition that Fn is
even.
Base case: F0 = 0 is even, so P(0) is true.
Inductive step: Assume P(0); : : : ; P(n - 1) to prove P(n): Now
Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2
and Fn-1 and Fn-2 are both even by assumptions P(n - 1) and P(n - 2); so
Fn is also even. By induction, all Fibonacci numbers are even. Stephen La Rocque and Claude Tardif lui répond. |

Vic pose la question : Problem: Find the first 4 terms and the nth term of the infinite sequence defined recursively as follows:
a(1) = 3 and a(k+1) = 2a(k) for k -> 1.
Note: Quantities in brackets are subscripts

Using the recursive formula, the first 4 terms are;
a(1) = 3, a(2) = 6, a(3) = 12, a(4) = 24
The nth term a(n) = 2n-1 x 3 (equation 1)
