Nnesha (nnesha):

first check is n=1 true statement or not ? substitute n for 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry im really slow today i jsut got home from base

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[n^2-n+2 =2 \] substitute n for 1 do you get equal sides ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really sorry

Nnesha (nnesha):

these are the steps for mathematical induction `1st)` substitute n for 1 to check is the L.H.S = R.H.S ? if the statement is true then next step is `2nd)` assume it is true for n=k (substitute n for k) this step is called " induction assumption' `3rd)` substitute n for k+1 and we want to show the statement is true for n= k+1 based on the 2nd step assumption

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok

Nnesha (nnesha):

what do you mean replace n with one and then solve left side both sides are equal at the end ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?? im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why did you ask that question for?

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Nnesha \[n^2-n+2 =2 \] substitute n for 1 do you get equal sides ? \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) this is simple algebra substitute n for 1 then solve left side

Nnesha (nnesha):

if both sides are equal THEN we can work on 2nd step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and how do we do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

Nnesha (nnesha):

do what ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[n^2-n+2=2\]replace n with one
