Solution:
Let the given statement be P(n), i.e.,
p(n): (211+7) < (n +
It can be observed that P(n) is true for since 2.1 +
= 16, which is true.
Let P(k) be true for some positive integer k, i.e.,
We shall now prove that P(k+ I) is true whenever p(k) is true.
Consider
2(k+ l) +7 +6k +9+2
2(k+ +6k +11
ow. +8k.16
[using
Thus, P(k+ I) 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.
