When n=1 there is 1 dot. when n=2 there are 3 dots, when n=3 there are 6 dots. notice that the total number of dots increases by

n each time.
use induction to prove that
d(n)= n(n+1)/2

part A: prove the statement is true for n=1


part B: Assume that the statement is true for n=k + 1, therefor proving it true for all natural numbers, n.

hint* since the total number of dots increase by n each time, prove that d(k) + (k+1) = d (k+1)


*please answer i really need help!!

Answer:

<h3>Part A</h3>
  • d(n) = n(n + 1)/2
  • n = 1 ⇒ d(1) = 1(1 + 1)/2 = 2/2 = 1, proved
<h3>Part B</h3>
  • d(k) + (k + 1) =
  • k(k + 1)/2 + (k + 1) =
  • [k(k + 1) + 2(k + 1)]/2 =
  • [(k + 1)(k + 1 + 1)]/2 =
  • d(k + 1)
  • Proved
