Question 1.
If statement is P(n) : (n + 3) < 2ⁿ⁺³ then write P(4).
Solution:
P(n) : (n + 3) < 2ⁿ⁺³
Putting n = 4
P(4) : (4 + 3) < 2⁴⁺³
P(4) : 7 < 2⁷
P(4) : 7 < 128 is true
Hence, P(4) : 7 < 2⁷.

Question 2.

then test the authenticity of P(4).
Solution:
Let the given statement is P(n), where n ∈ N
So, P(n) = 1² + 3² + 5² + … +(2n – 1)²

L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, P(4) is true.

Question 3.

= (nth term of 1, 2, 3, …).(nth term of 4, 5, 6, …).(nth term of 7, 8, 9, …)
= [1 + (n – 1) – 1].[4 + (n – 1) – 1].[7 + (n – 1)1]
= (1 + n – 1) . (4 + n – 1) . (7 + n – 1).

⇒ (1 + x) ≥ (1 + x) is true for x > -1 …(i)
For n = k

Now, we have to prove that P(m + 1)
We have that
(1 + x)^m+1 = (1 + x)^m (1 + x)
Given x > 0, So, (1 + x) > 0
Hence, using
(1 + x)^m ≥ (1 + mx)
we get (1 + x)^m+1 ≥ (1 + mx)(1 + x)
i.e., (1 + x)^m+1 ≥ (1 + x + mx + mx²) …..(iii)
Since, m is a natural number and x² ≥ 0 is such that
mx² ≥ 0
So, (1 + x + mx + mx²) ≥ (1 + x + mx)

Hence Proved.

Question 20.
Prove that x²ⁿ – y²ⁿ is divisible by (x + y).
Solution:
Let the given statement is P(n), where n ∈ N
P(n) = x²ⁿ – y²ⁿ
For n = 1, P(1) = x² – y² = (x + y) (x – y),

Now, we see that there are two terms in R.H.S.
In first term (x^2m – y^2m), which is divisible by (x + y) [From (i)]
and second term is also divisible by (x + y) because (x + y) is its factor.
Then sum of both terms is also divisible by (x + y).
Hence, the given statement is also true for n = k + 1, i.e., P(m + 1) is true.
Hence, by the principle of mathematical induction we can say that the given statement is true for each natural number n ∈ N.
Hence Proved.

Solution:
Let the given statement is P(n) where n ∈ N,
i.e. P(n)= 41ⁿ – 14ⁿ is divisible by 27
For n = 1, P(1) = 41¹ – 14¹ = 41 – 14 = 27
which is divisible by 27
Hence, given statement is true for n = 1, i.e., P( 1) is true
Let given statement is true for n = m i.e., P(m) is true
Then P(m) = 41^m – 14^m, is divisible by 27 ……(i)
Now, we have to prove that given statement is true for n = m + 1, i.e., P(m + 1) is also true
Now,

Here, there are two terms in R.H.S. In first term (41^m – 14^m) is divisible by 27 [From (i)] and second term is also divisible by 27 because 27 is its one factor.
Then sum of both terms is also divisible by 27.
Hence, the principle of mathematical inducation, we can say that the given statement is true for each natural numbers n ∈ N.
Hence Proved.

Prove that (2n + 7) < (n + 3)², ∀ n ∈ N.
Solution:
Let the given statement is P(n) where n ∈ N
P(n) = (2n + 7) < (n + 3)²
For n = 1, P(1) = (2 × 1 + 7) = 9 < (1 + 3)² = 16,
9 < 16
Hence, given statement is true for n = 1, i.e., P(1) is true.
Let given statement is true for n = m. i.e., P(m) is true.
Then P(m) = (2m + 7) < (m + 3)²
Now, we have to prove that given statement is true is true for n = k + 1 i.e., P(m + 1) is true.
