Vedclass · Answer

(C) We know that the sum of the first $n$ squares is given by $1^2+2^2+3^2+\ldots+n^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} = \frac{2n^3+3n^2+n}{6}$.Given $P(n): 1^2+2^2+3^2+\ldots+n^2 = \frac{6(n-1)(n-2) \ldots(n-2020) + 2n^3+3n^2+n}{6}$.Substituting the standard sum formula into the given equation,we get:$\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} = (n-1)(n-2) \ldots(n-2020) + \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$.This equality holds if and only if $(n-1)(n-2) \ldots(n-2020) = 0$.This product is zero when $n \in \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 2020\}$.Therefore,$P(n)$ is true for all $n \leq 2020$.

Let $P(n): 1^2+2^2+3^2+\ldots+n^2 = \frac{6(n-1)(n-2) \ldots(n-2020)+2n^3+3n^2+n}{6}$,for all $n \in N$. Then which of the following is correct?

For every natural number $n$,which of the following inequalities is true?

If $P(n) = 2 + 4 + 6 + \dots + 2n$,$n \in N$,then $P(k) = k(k + 1) + 2 \implies P(k + 1) = (k + 1)(k + 2) + 2$ for all $k \in N$. So we can conclude that $P(k) = k(k + 1) + 2$ for all $k \in N$ is true. What can we conclude about $P(n) = n(n + 1) + 2$ for all $n \in N$?

Prove the following by using the principle of mathematical induction for all $n \in N$ where $n \geq 2$:
