Proof Technique
... odd integers is n2. Then to proof that P(n) is true for all n ≥ 1, we have to show that P(1) is true and P(k+1) is true if P(k) is true for k ≥ 1. Basic step: P(1) is true, because the sum of the first 1 odd integer is 12. Inductive step: Assume P(k): the sum of the first k odd integers is k2, that ...
