Question 3:
If
, then prove
where n is any positive integer
It is given that![]()
![]()
We shall prove the result by using the principle of mathematical induction.
For n = 1, we have:
![]()
Therefore, the result is true for n = 1.
Let the result be true for n = k.
That is,
![]()
Now, we prove that the result is true for n = k + 1.

Therefore, the result is true for n = k + 1.
Thus, by the principle of mathematical induction, we have:
![]()
