Prove using Mathematical Induction
Show all of your work. Do not leave any steps out. Be sure to do the base case.
5. 1∙2 + 2∙3 + 3∙4 + ... + N(N+1) = N(N+1)(N+2)/3, for N ≥ 1
6. 1(1!) + 2(2!) + 3(3!) + ... + N(N!) = (N+1)! - 1, for N ≥ 1
7. 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + ... + N³ = [N(N+1)/2]², for N ≥ 1
8. 11ᴺ – 6 is divisible by 5, for N ≥ 1
9. Prove using Mathematical Induction that postage of five cents or more can be achieved by using only 2-cent and 5-cent stamps.
10. Prove or disprove using Mathematical Induction that 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2N = (N+2)(N-1), for N ≥ 3
