Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

a_1=2

a_n=a_{n-1}-3 for for  [tex]n\geq2

We have to prove that a_n=-3n+5 for all n equal and greater than 1

proof: Let P(n)=a_n=-3n+5 for all n equals to and greater than 1

We prove that for all n there exists Z,if n greater and equals to zero

Base case : The base case is n=1

Substitute n=1 then we get

P(1)=-3(1)+5=2

This is true for n=1

Induction step : suppose that P(n) is true for n=k where k greater than 1

Then P(k)=-3k+5

Now, we shall prove that for n=k+1, P(n) is true for n=k+1

P(k+1)=-3(k+1)+5

P(k+1)=-3k-3+5=-3k+5-3

P(k+1)=a_k-3

a_{k+1}=a_k-3

We are given that a_n=a_{n-1}-3 for n equal to and greater than 2

Therefore, P(n) is true for n=k+1

Hence, P(n)=-3n+5 for all n equal and greater than 1
