For all $\,\, n \in \mathbb N,\,\,$ prove by principle of mathematical induction that, 

1. (i) $\,1+3+5+.....+(2n-1)=n^2$

Sol. Let us suppose that the mathematical statement is given by : $\,P(n).$   

That means $\,\,P(n): 1+3+5+.....+(2n-1)=n^2$  

Now, $\,P(1): 1=1^2; \,$ so that $\,P(1)\,$ is true.  

Let $\,P(m)\,$ is true.  

$\therefore P(m)=1+3+5+...+(2m-1)=m^2  \\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\cdots(1)$   

Now, $\,\,P(m+1): \\1+3+5+...+(2m-1)+[2(m+1)-1]\\=m^2+(2m+2-1)\,\,[\text{By (1)}] \\=m^2+2m+1\\=(m+1)^2$

Now , since $\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true $\Rightarrow P(m+1)\,$ is true.   

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(ii) $\,\,a+(a+d)+(a+2d)+ ............\text{to n terms}=\frac n2[2a+(n-1)d]$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n): a+(a+d)+(a+2d)+ ............\text{to n terms}=\frac n2[2a+(n-1)d] \cdots(1)$

Clearly, $\,n-$th term of left hand side of $\,P(n)\,$ is $\,\,a+(n-1)d.$ 

So, (1) can be rewritten as : $\,\,P(n): a+(a+d)+(a+2d)+ ............+\{a+(n-1)d\}=\frac n2[2a+(n-1)d] \cdots(2)$

Now, $\,\,P(1): a=\frac 12[2a+(1-1)d]\,\,$ and so, $\,P(1)\,$ is true.     

Now, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m): a+(a+d)+(a+2d)+ ............+\{a+(m-1)d\}=\frac m2[2a+(m-1)d]$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1): a+(a+d)+(a+2d)+ ...........+\{a+(m-1)d\}+\{a+(m+1-1)d\}\\=\frac m2[2a+(m-1)d]+\{a+(m+1-1)d\}\\=ma+\frac m2(m-1)d+a+md\\=ma+m^2d/2-md/2+a+md\\=(m+1)a+md\left(\frac{m-1}{2}+1\right)\\=(m+1)a+md \frac{m+1}{2}\\=\frac{m+1}{2}[2a+md]\\=\frac{m+1}{2}[2a+(m+1-1)d]$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(iii) $\,\sin x+\sin {2x}+\sin{3x}+ \cdots +\sin{nx}\\=\frac{\sin{\frac{n+1}{2}x}\sin\frac{nx}{2}}{\sin \frac x2}$

Sol. Let $\,P(n): \sin x+\sin {2x}+\sin{3x}+ \cdots \\+\sin{nx}=\frac{\sin{\frac{n+1}{2}x}\sin\frac{nx}{2}}{\sin \frac x2}  $                                                         

be a mathematical statement.

Now, $\,\,P(1): \sin x=\frac{\sin{\frac{1+1}{2}x}.{\sin \frac{1.x}{2}}}{\sin \frac x2}\,\,$ and so, $\,P(1)\,$ is true. 

Let the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

Hence, $\,P(m): \sin x+\sin {2x}+\sin{3x} \\ + \cdots +\sin{(mx)}=\frac{\sin{\frac{m+1}{2}x}\sin\frac{mx}{2}}{\sin \frac x2}$

Now, $\,P(m+1): \sin x+\sin {2x}+\sin{3x}\\+ \cdots +\sin{(mx)}+\sin{(m+1)x}\\=\frac{\sin{\frac{m+1}{2}x}\sin\frac{mx}{2}}{\sin \frac x2}+\sin{(m+1)x} \\=\frac{\sin{\frac{m+1}{2}x}\sin\frac{mx}{2}}{\sin \frac x2}+2 \sin {\frac{m+1}{2}}x . \cos {\frac{m+1}{2}}x\\=\sin {\frac{m+1}{2}}x \left(\frac{\sin(mx/2)+2\sin(x/2)\cos((m+1)/2)x}{\sin(x/2)}\right) \\=\sin {\frac{m+1}{2}}x \left(\frac{\sin(mx/2)+\sin(m+2)x/2)-\sin{(mx/2)}}{\sin(x/2)}\right)\\ = \sin {\frac{m+1+1}{2}}x \left(\frac{\sin(m+1)x/2}{\sin(x/2)}\right)$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(iv)$\,\sin x+\sin {2x}+\sin{3x}+ \cdots \sin{(2n-1)x}\\=\frac{\sin^2{nx}}{\sin x}$

Sol. $P(n):\,\,\sin x+\sin {2x}+\sin{3x}\\+ \cdots +\sin{(2n-1)x}=\frac{\sin^2{nx}}{\sin x}$

Now, $\,\,P(1): \sin x=\frac{\sin^2{(1.x)}}{\sin x}$

Let the mathematical statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true.

So, $P(m):\,\,\sin x+\sin {2x}+\sin{3x}\\+ \cdots +\sin{(2m-1)x}=\frac{\sin^2{mx}}{\sin x}$

Now, $P(m+1):\,\,\sin x+\sin {2x}+\sin{3x}\\+ \cdots+\sin{(2m-1)x}+ \sin\{2(m+1)-1\}x\\=\frac{\sin^2{mx}}{\sin x}+\sin\{(2m+1)x\}\\=\frac{\sin^2{mx}+\sin\{(2m+1)x\}\sin x}{\sin x}\\=\frac{\sin^2(mx)+\frac 12[\cos(2mx)-\cos 2(m+1)x]}{\sin x}\\=\frac{2\sin^2(mx)+[\cos(2mx)-\cos 2(m+1)x]}{2\sin x} \\=\frac{1-\cos{2mx}+[\cos(2mx)-\cos 2(m+1)x]}{2\sin x}\\= \frac{1-\cos 2(m+1)x}{2\sin x}\\=\frac{2 \sin^2{(m+1)x}}{2\sin x}\\=\frac{ \sin^2{(m+1)x}}{\sin x}$

1(v) $\,\,(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)^n=\cos{n\theta}+i \sin{n \theta},\,i=\sqrt{-1}$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n):(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)^n=\cos{n\theta}+i \sin{n \theta}$

Now, $\,\,P(1): (\cos \theta+i\sin \theta)^1=\cos \theta +i\sin \theta \,\,$ and so $\,P(1)\,$ is true.

Now, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m):(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)^m=\cos{m\theta}+i \sin{m \theta} \cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1):(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)^{m+1}\\=(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)^{m}(\cos \theta+\sin \theta)\\=(\cos{m\theta}+i \sin{m \theta})(\cos \theta +i \sin \theta)\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=(\cos{m\theta}\cos\theta-\sin{m \theta}\sin \theta)\\+i(\sin m\theta\cos \theta+\cos m\theta\sin \theta)\\=\cos(m\theta+\theta)+i\sin(m\theta+\theta) \\=\cos{(m+1)\theta}+i \sin{(m+1) \theta}$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(vi) $\,\frac 12+\frac 14+\frac 18+\cdots+\frac {1}{2^n}=1-\frac{1}{2^n}$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n): \frac 12+\frac 14+\frac 18+\cdots+\frac {1}{2^n}=1-\frac{1}{2^n}$

Now, $\,\,P(1): \frac 12=1-\frac{1}{2^1},\,$ and so $\,P(1)\,$ is true.

Next, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m): \frac 12+\frac 14+\frac 18+\cdots+\frac {1}{2^m}=1-\frac{1}{2^m}$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1)\\=\frac 12+\frac 14+\frac 18+\cdots+\frac {1}{2^m}+\frac{1}{2^{m+1}}\\=1-\frac{1}{2^m}+\frac{1}{2^{m+1}}\\=1-\frac1{2^m} \left(1-\frac12\right)\\=1-\frac{1}{2^m}.\frac12\\=1-\frac{1}{2^{m+1}}$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(vii) $\,a+ar+ar^2+.....\text{to n terms}=a.\frac{r^n-1}{r-1}\,\,[r \neq 1]$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n): a+ar+ar^2+.....\text{to n terms}\\=a.\frac{r^n-1}{r-1},\,\,[r \neq 1]$

Now, $\,\,P(1): a=a.\frac{r^1-1}{r-1},\,[r \neq 1]$ and so $\,P(1)\,$ is true.

Clearly, the n-th term of left hand side is: $\,ar^{n-1}.$

Next, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m): a+ar+ar^2+.....+ar^{m-1}\\=a.\frac{r^m-1}{r-1}\,\,[r \neq 1] \cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1): a+ar+ar^2+.....+ar^{m-1}+ar^{m+1-1}\\=a.\frac{r^m-1}{r-1}+ar^{m}\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=\frac{ar^m-a+ar^{m+1}-ar^m}{r-1}\\=\frac{ar^{m+1}-a}{r-1}\\=a.\frac{r^{m+1}-1}{r-1}$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(viii) $\,1^2+3^2+5^2+\cdots+(2n-1)^2=\frac n3(4n^2-1)$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n): 1^2+3^2+5^2\\+\cdots+(2n-1)^2=\frac n3(4n^2-1)$

Now, $\,\,P(1): 1^2=\frac 13(4 \times 1^2-1)$ and so $\,P(1)\,$ is true.

Next, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m): 1^2+3^2+5^2\\+\cdots+(2m-1)^2=\frac m3(4m^2-1) \cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1): 1^2+3^2+5^2\\+\cdots+(2m-1)^2+[2(m+1)-1]^2\\=\frac m3(4m^2-1)+[2m+1]^2\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=\frac m3(2m+1)(2m-1)+(2m+1)^2\\=(2m+1)\left[\frac{m(2m-1)}{3}+2m+1\right]\\=(2m+1)\frac{2m^2-m+6m+3}{3}\\=(2m+1)\frac{2m^2+5m+3}{3}\\=(2m+1)\frac{(2m+3)(m+1)}{3}\\=\frac{(m+1)(4m^2+8m+3)}{3}\\=\frac{(m+1)[4(m+1)^2-1]}{3}$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(ix) $\,\,1.2+2.3+3.4+\cdots+n(n+1)\\=\frac 13n(n+1)(n+2)$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n): 1.2+2.3+3.4+\cdots+n(n+1)\\=\frac 13n(n+1)(n+2) \cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(1): 1.2=\frac 131(1+1)(1+2)\,\,$ and so, $\,P(1)\,$ is true.     

Now, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m): 1.2+2.3+3.4+\cdots+m(m+1)\\=\frac 13m(m+1)(m+2)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1):1.2+2.3+3.4+\cdots+m(m+1)+(m+1)(m+1+1)\\=\frac 13m(m+1)(m+2)+(m+1)(m+2)\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=(m+1)(m+2)(\frac m3+1)\\=\frac 13(m+1)(m+1+1)(m+1+2)$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(x) $\,\, 2^2+5^2+8^2+\cdots \text{to n terms}\\=\frac n2(6n^2+3n-1)$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n): 2^2+5^2+8^2+\cdots \text{to n terms}\\=\frac n2(6n^2+3n-1) $

Clearly, the n-th term of left hand side is: $\,\{2+(n-1)\times 3\}^2=(3n-1)^2$

Now, $\,\,P(1): 2^2=\frac 12(6.1^2+3.1-1)\,\,$ and so, $\,P(1)\,$ is true.     

Now, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m): 2^2+5^2+8^2+\cdots +(3m-1)^2\\=\frac m2(6m^2+3m-1) \cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1): 2^2+5^2+8^2+\cdots \\+(3m-1)^2+(3 \overline{m+1}-1)^2\\=\frac m2(6m^2+3m-1)+(3m+3-1)^2\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=\frac m2(6m^2+3m-1)+(3m+2)^2\\=\frac 12[6m^3+3m^2-m+18m^2+24m+8]\\=\frac 12[6m^3+21m^2+23m+8]$

Moreover, $\,\,\frac{(m+1)}{2}[6(m+1)^2+3(m+1)-1]\\=\frac{m+1}{2}[6m^2+15m+8]\\=\frac 12[6m^3+21m^2+23m+8]$

Therefore, $\,\,2^2+5^2+8^2+...\\+(3m-1)^2+[3(m+1)-1]^2\\=\frac{m+1}{2}\{6(m+1)^2+3(m+1)-1\}$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(xi) $\,\, \frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{3.4}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n(n+1)}=\frac{n}{n+1}$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n): \frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{3.4}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n(n+1)}=\frac{n}{n+1}$

Now, $\,\,P(1):\frac{1}{1.2}=\frac{1}{1+1}\,\,$ and so, $\,P(1)\,$ is true.     

Now, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m): \frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{3.4}+\cdots+\frac{1}{m(m+1)}=\frac{m}{m+1} \cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1): \frac{1}{1.2}+\frac{1}{2.3}+\frac{1}{3.4}+\cdots\\+\frac{1}{m(m+1)}+\frac{1}{(m+1)(m+2)}\\=\frac{m}{m+1}+\frac{1}{(m+1)(m+2)} \,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=\frac{1}{m+1}[m+\frac{1}{m+2}]\\=\frac{m^2+2m+1}{(m+1)(m+2)}\\=\frac{(m+1)^2}{(m+1)(m+2)}\\=\frac{m+1}{m+2}\\=\frac{m+1}{m+1+1}$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(xii) $\,\, \frac{1}{1.4}+\frac{1}{4.7}+\frac{1}{7.10}+\cdots \text{to n terms}\\=\frac{n}{3n+1}$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n): \frac{1}{1.4}+\frac{1}{4.7}+\frac{1}{7.10}\\+\cdots \text{to n terms}=\frac{n}{3n+1}$

Clearly, the n-th term of left hand side is:   

$\,\, \frac{1}{(1+(n-1)\times 3)(4+(n-1) \times 3)}=\frac{1}{(3n-2)(3n+1)}$

Now, $\,\,P(1):\frac{1}{1.4}=\frac{1}{3.1+1}\,\,$ and so, $\,P(1)\,$ is true.     

Now, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m):  \frac{1}{1.4}+\frac{1}{4.7}+\frac{1}{7.10}+\cdots+ \frac{1}{(3m-2)(3m+1)}=\frac{m}{3m+1}\cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1): \frac{1}{1.4}+\frac{1}{4.7}+\frac{1}{7.10}+\cdots\\+ \frac{1}{(3m-2)(3m+1)}+\frac{1}{(3\overline{m+1}-2)(3\overline{m+1}+1)}\\=\frac{m}{3m+1}+\frac{1}{(3\overline{m+1}-2)(3\overline{m+1}+1)}\,\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=\frac{1}{3m+1}+\frac{1}{(3m+1)(3m+4)}\\=\frac{m(3m+4)+1}{(3m+1)(3m+4)}\\=\frac{(3m+1)(m+1)}{(3m+1)(3m+4)}\\=\frac{m+1}{3(m+1)+1}$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(xiii) $\,\, (1-\frac12)(1-\frac13)(1-\frac14)....(1-\frac{1}{n+1})\\=\frac{1}{n+1}$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n): (1-\frac12)(1-\frac13)(1-\frac14)....(1-\frac{1}{n+1})\\=\frac{1}{n+1}$

 

Now, $\,\,P(1):1-\frac 12=\frac 12=\frac{1}{1+1}\,\,$ and so, $\,P(1)\,$ is true.     

Now, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m):  (1-\frac12)(1-\frac13)(1-\frac14)....(1-\frac{1}{m+1})=\frac{1}{m+1}\cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1): (1-\frac12)(1-\frac13)(1-\frac14) \cdots \\ \cdots(1-\frac{1}{m+1})(1-\frac{1}{m+1+1})\\=\frac{1}{m+1}.\frac{m+1}{m+2} \,\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=\frac{1}{m+2}\\=\frac{1}{m+1+1}$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.

Now, $\,\,P(1):1=\frac{2 \times 1}{1+1}\,\,$ and so, $\,P(1)\,$ is true.     

Now, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m): 1+\frac{1}{1+2}+\frac{1}{1+2+3}+\cdots\\+\frac{1}{1+2+3+\cdots+m}=\frac{2m}{m+1}\cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1):  1+\frac{1}{1+2}+\frac{1}{1+2+3}+\cdots\\+\frac{1}{1+2+3+\cdots+m}+\frac{1}{1+2+3+\cdots+m+m+1}\,\,\,\\=\frac{2m}{m+1}+\frac{1}{1+2+3+\cdots+m+m+1}\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=\frac{2m}{m+1}+\frac{1}{\frac{m+1}{2}(m+1+1)}\\=\frac{2m}{m+1}+\frac{2}{(m+1)(m+2)}\\=\frac{2}{m+1}[m+\frac{1}{m+2}]\\=\frac{2}{m+1} \times \frac{m^2+2m+1}{m+2}\\=\frac{2}{m+1} \times \frac{(m+1)^2}{m+2}\\=\frac{2(m+1)}{m+1+1}$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(xv) $\,\, 1.1!+2.2!+3.3!+\cdots+n.n!\\=(n+1)!-1$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n):  1.1!+2.2!+3.3!+\cdots+n.n!\\=(n+1)!-1$

 

Now, $\,\,P(1):1.1!=(1+1)!-1\,\,$ and so, $\,P(1)\,$ is true.     

Now, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m): 1.1!+2.2!+3.3!+\cdots+m.m!\\=(m+1)!-1\cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1):  1.1!+2.2!+3.3!+\cdots\\+m.m!+(m+1).(m+1)!\\=(m+1)!-1+(m+1).(m+1)!\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=(m+1)!(1+m+1)-1\\=(m+2)(m+1)!-1\\=(m+2)!-1\\=(m+1+1)!-1$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(xvi) $\,\, 2^{3n}-1 \,\,\text{is divisible by}\,\,7.$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n):  2^{3n}-1 \,\,\text{is divisible by}\,\,7.$

 

Now, $\,\,P(1):2^{3.1}-1=8-1=7\,\,$ and so, $\,P(1)\,$ is true.     

Now, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m): 2^{3m}-1 \,\,\text{is divisible by}\,\,7 \\ \therefore2^{3m}-1=7k,\,\,\text{where,}\,\,k \in \mathbb Z\cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1):  2^{3(m+1)}-1\\=2^{3m+3}-1\\=8 \times 2^{3m}-1\\=8(7k+1)-1,\,\,\text{By (1)}\\=56k+7\\=7(8k+1)$ 

And so, $\,\,2^{3(m+1)}-1\,\,$ is divisible by $\,7.\,\,\,[\text{Since,}\,\,k \in \mathbb Z, 8k+7 \in \mathbb Z]$ 

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(xvii) $\,\, 4^n+15n-1 \,\,\text{is a multiple of}\,\,9.$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n): 4^n+15n-1 \,\,\text{is a multiple of}\,\,9.$

 

Now, $\,\,P(1):4^1+15 \times 1-1=18 \\ \text{which is a multiple of}\,\,9\,\,\,$           

 and so, $\,P(1)\,$ is true.     

Now, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m): 4^m+15m-1 \,\,\text{is a multiple of}\,\,9 \\ \therefore 4^m+15m-1=9k,\,\,\text{where,}\,\,k \in \mathbb Z\\ \Rightarrow 4^m=9k-15m+1 \cdots(1) $

Now, $\,\,P(m+1):  4^{m+1}+15(m+1)-1\\=4 \times 4^{m}+15m+14\\=4 \times (9k-15m+1)+15m+14\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=36k-60m+4+15m+14\\=36k-45m+18\\=9(4k-5m+2)$ 

And so, $\,\,4^{m+1}+15(m+1)-1\,\,$ is a multiple of $\,9.\,\,\,[\text{Since,}\,\,k \in \mathbb Z, m \in \mathbb N,\,4k-5m+2\in \mathbb Z]$ 

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(xviii) $\,\, 2.7^n+3.5^n-5 \,\,\text{is divisible by}\,\,24.$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n): 2.7^n+3.5^n-5 \,\,\text{is divisible by}\,\,24.$

 

Now, $\,\,P(1): 2.7^1+3.5^1-5=24 \,\,\text{is divisible by}\,\,24\,\,\,$ and so, $\,P(1)\,$ is true.     

Now, suppose that the statement $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m):  2.7^m+3.5^m-5 \,\,\text{is divisible by}\,\,24 \\ \therefore 2.7^m+3.5^m-5=24k,\,\,\text{where,}\,\,k \in \mathbb Z \cdots(1) $

Now, $\,\,P(m+1):  2.7^{m+1}+3.5^{m+1}-5\\=14.7^m+15.5^m-5\\=24k+12(7^m+5^m)\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=24k+24k_1 \\ [\text{Since}\,\, 7^m,5^m\,\,\text{is odd,}\,\,7^m+5^m\,\,\text{is even}=2k_1]\\=24(k+k_1)$ 

Hence, $\,2.7^{m+1}+3.5^{m+1}-5 \,\,\text{is divisible by}\,\,24.$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(xix) $\,\,15^{2n-1}+1\,\,$ is divisible by $\,\,16.$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n):15^{2n-1}+1\,\,$ is divisible by $\,\,16.$

So, $\,\,P(1):15^{2\times 1-1}+1=16\,\,$ which is divisible by $\,\,16.$

Suppose, $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m):15^{2m-1}+1\,\,$ is divisible by $\,\,16.$

Therefore, $\,\,15^{2m-1}+1=16k,\,\,k \in \mathbb Z \\ \Rightarrow15^{2m-1}=16k-1 \cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1): 15^{2(m+1)-1}+1\\=15^{2m+2-1}+1 \\ =15^2.15^{2m-1}+1\\=225(16k-1)+1\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=225 \times 16k-224\\=16(225k-14)$

So, $\,15^{2m-1}+1\,\,$ is always divisible by $\,\,16.$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

1(xx) $\,\,12^n+25^{n-1}\,\,$ is divisible by $\,\,13.$

Sol. Let $\,\,P(n):12^n+25^{n-1}\,\,$ is divisible by $\,\,13.$

So, $\,\,P(1):12^1+25^{1-1}=13\,\,$ which is divisible by $\,\,13.$

Suppose, $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

So, $\,\,P(m):12^m+25^{m-1}\,\,$ is divisible by $\,\,13.$

Therefore, $\,\,12^m+25^{m-1}=13k,\,\,k \in \mathbb Z  \cdots(1)$

Now, $\,\,P(m+1): 12^{m+1}+25^{m+1-1}\\=12\times 12^m+25 \times 25^{m-1}\\=12\times 12^m+12 \times 25^{m-1}+13 \times 25^{m-1}\\=12(12^m+25^{m-1})+13 \times 25^{m-1}\\=12 \times 13k+13 \times 25^{m-1}\,\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=13(12k+25^{m-1})$

So, $\,12^m+25^{m-1}\,\,$ is always divisible by $\,\,13.$

Since, $\,\,P(1)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n.\,$

2. For what natural numbers $\,n\,$ the inequality $\,\,2^n >2n+1\,\,$ is valid?

Sol. Clearly, for $\,\,n=1,\,2^1=2> 2 \times 1+1=3\,$ which means the aforementioned inequality is not valid.  

Similarly, for $\,\,n=2,\,2^2=4>2\times 2+1 \Rightarrow 4>5\,$which means the aforesaid inequality is not valid. 

Now, for $\,\,n=3,\, 2^3>2 \times 3+1 \Rightarrow 8>7\,$ which is true.

Let $\,\,P(n): 2^n>2n+1\,\,\forall n \geq 3 \wedge n \in \mathbb N,\,\,$ and which means $\,P(3)\,$ is true. 

Now, let $\,\,P(m)\,$ is true. 

Therefore, $\,\,2^m>2m+1\cdots(1)$

Now, we have to prove , $\,\,P(m+1)\,$ is true, i.e., $\,\,2^{m+1}>2m+3.$

Now, $\,2^{m+1}=2.2^m>2(2m+1)\,\,[\text{By (1)}]\\=2m+2m+2\\>2m+3\,\,[\text{Since,}\,m \geq 3 \Rightarrow 2m+2 \geq 6+2>3]\\ \Rightarrow 2^{m+1}>2(m+1)+1$

Since, $\,\,P(3)\,$ is true and $\,P(m)\,$ is true $\implies P(m+1)\,$ is true.  

So, from the method of mathematical induction, we can say $\,\,P(n)\,$ is true for all $\,n \geq3,\,\,n \in \mathbb N.$
