So we want to show that n is less than equal to 2 to the n minus 1 for all n that are natural numbers.
00:09
So we can do this by induction.
00:11
So let's go in and start with a base case.
00:13
So base case is going to be that n is equal to 1.
00:19
So let's see.
00:20
So the left -hand side is going to be equal to just 1.
00:24
The right -hand side is going to be equal to, so it's 2 to the 1 minus 1, which is 1.
00:30
And 1 is less than or equal to 1.
00:33
So, base case holds.
00:35
So let's write our hypothesis out.
00:38
Hypothesis being that pk is the statement, k is less than or equal to 2k minus 1.
00:52
And so now what we want to show is that pk plus 1 is also true.
01:00
So k plus 1 is less than or equal to.
01:05
To the k.
01:09
So let's start with our proof for this.
01:14
So proof...
