Mathematical Induction

What is the analogy that he uses to describe mathematical induction?

• The domino effect.
• The staircase model.
• The chain reaction.
• The ladder principle.

What is the first step of mathematical induction?

• Verify the base case.
• Prove the statement for all integers.
• Assume the statement is true for all cases.
• Identify the largest case to check.

What do you assume as the second step in mathematical induction?

• Skip to the conclusion without any assumptions.
• Prove the statement for n = k + 1 first.
• Assume the statement is true for n = k.
• Assume the statement is false for n = k.

What do you have to prove in mathematical induction?

• You must prove the conclusion P(k+1)

• You have to prove the conclusion P(k).

• You have to prove the base case and the inductive step.
• You only need to prove the base case.
