Use mathematical induction to prove that the statement is true for every positive integer n.1 ? 4 + 2 ? 4 + 3 ? 4 + . . . + 4n = 

What will be an ideal response?


S1:1 ? 4 
 
 4 = 4 ?
Sk: 1 ? 4 + 2 ? 4 + 3 ? 4 + . . . + 4k = 
Sk+1: 1 ? 4 + 2 ? 4 + 3 ? 4 + . . . + 4(k + 1) = 
We work with Sk. Because we assume that Sk is true, we add the next consecutive term, namely
4(k+1), to both sides."

1 ? 4 + 2 ? 4 + 3 ? 4 + . . . + 4k + 4(k + 1) =  + 4(k + 1)
1 ? 4 + 2 ? 4 + 3 ? 4 + . . . + 4(k + 1) =  + 
1 ? 4 + 2 ? 4 + 3 ? 4 + . . . + 4(k + 1) = 
1 ? 4 + 2 ? 4 + 3 ? 4 + . . . + 4(k + 1) = 
We have shown that if we assume that Sk is true, and we add (4(k+1) to both sides of Sk , then Sk+1 is also true. By the principle of mathematical induction, the statement Sn is true for every positive integer n.
