Answer:

The statement is true is for any n\in \mathbb{N}.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we check the identity for n = 1:

(2\cdot 1 - 1)^{2} = \frac{2\cdot (2\cdot 1 - 1)\cdot (2\cdot 1 + 1)}{3}

1 = \frac{1\cdot 1\cdot 3}{3}

1 = 1

The statement is true for n = 1.

Then, we have to check that identity is true for n = k+1, under the assumption that n = k is true:

(1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+...+k^{2}) + [2\cdot (k+1)-1]^{2} = \frac{(k+1)\cdot [2\cdot (k+1)-1]\cdot [2\cdot (k+1)+1]}{3}

\frac{k\cdot (2\cdot k -1)\cdot (2\cdot k +1)}{3} +[2\cdot (k+1)-1]^{2} = \frac{(k+1)\cdot [2\cdot (k+1)-1]\cdot [2\cdot (k+1)+1]}{3}

\frac{k\cdot (2\cdot k -1)\cdot (2\cdot k +1)+3\cdot [2\cdot (k+1)-1]^{2}}{3} = \frac{(k+1)\cdot [2\cdot (k+1)-1]\cdot [2\cdot (k+1)+1]}{3}

k\cdot (2\cdot k -1)\cdot (2\cdot k +1)+3\cdot (2\cdot k +1)^{2} = (k+1)\cdot (2\cdot k +1)\cdot (2\cdot k +3)

(2\cdot k +1)\cdot [k\cdot (2\cdot k -1)+3\cdot (2\cdot k +1)] = (k+1) \cdot (2\cdot k +1)\cdot (2\cdot k +3)

k\cdot (2\cdot k - 1)+3\cdot (2\cdot k +1) = (k + 1)\cdot (2\cdot k +3)

2\cdot k^{2}+5\cdot k +3 = (k+1)\cdot (2\cdot k + 3)

(k+1)\cdot (2\cdot k + 3) = (k+1)\cdot (2\cdot k + 3)

Therefore, the statement is true for any n\in \mathbb{N}.
