Use the Principle of Mathematical Induction to show that the statement is true for all natural numbers n.

What will be an ideal response?


When , the left side of the statement is , and the right side of the
statement is , so the statement is true when .
Assume the statement is true for some natural number k. Then,
  .
So the statement is true for . Conditions I and II are satisfied; by the Principle of Mathematical Induction, the statement is true for all natural numbers.
