Prove the following by using the principle of mathematical induction for all n ∈ N:
`1 + 3 + 3^2 + ... + 3^(n – 1) =((3^n -1))/2`
उत्तर
Let the given statement be P(n), i.e.,
= `(3^(k+1) - 1)/2`
Thus, P(k + 1) is true whenever P(k) is true.
Hence, by the principle of mathematical induction, statement P(n) is true for all natural numbers i.e., n.
