EXERCISE 2.1
Prove the following statement is true for all any positive integers by using mathematical induction.
1. P1: 8+3=4+7
Pk: 11 + 19 + 17 + …+ 8(k) + 3 = k [4(k) + 7]
Pk+1: 11 + 19 + 17 + …+ 8(k) + 3 + 8(k + 1) + 3 = (k + 1) [4(k + 1) + 7]
2. P1: 81 – 51 is divisible by 3.
Pk: 8k – 5k is divisible by 3.
Pk+1: 8k+1 – 5k+1 is divisible by 3.
4. P1: 101 + 2
Pk: 10k + 2
Pk+1: 10k+1 + 2
41 −1
5. P1: 4(1-1) = 3
4𝑘 −1
Pk: 1 + 4 +42 + … + 4k-1 = 3
4 (𝑘+1) −1
Pk+1: 1 + 4 +42 + … + 4k-1 + 4(k+1) -1 = 3
EXERCISE 3.1
Find the common difference and give its recursive and explicit formula.
1. Common difference: d = 100
Explicit: an = -5 + (n – 1) (100)
Recursive: an = an-1 + 100
2. Common difference: d = 9
Explicit: an = 32 + (n – 1) (9)
Recursive: an = an-1 + 9
4. Common difference: d = 30
Explicit: an = -6 + (n – 1) (30)
Recursive: an = an-1 + 30
5. Common difference: d = -7
Explicit: an = 34 + (n – 1) (-7)
Recursive: an = an-1 – 7
EXERCISE 3.2
Find the common difference and give its recursive and explicit formula.
1. Common ratio: r = 4
Explicit: an = -3 (4) n-1
Recursive: an = an-1 (4)
2. Common ratio: r = 2
Explicit: an = 7 (2) n-1
Recursive: an = an-1 (2)
3. Common ratio: r = -5
Explicit: an = -2 (-5) n-1
Recursive: an = an-1 (-5)
4. Common ratio: r = 3
Explicit: an = -4 (3) n-1
Recursive: an = an-1 (3)
5. Common ratio: r = -4
Explicit: an = 4 (-4) n-1
Recursive: an = an-1 (-4)
