(II) Answer the following.

Question 1.
Prove by the method of induction, for all n ∈ N.
(i) 8 + 17 + 26 + ….. + (9n – 1) = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (9n + 7)
Solution:
Let P(n) ≡ 8 + 17 + 26 +…..+(9n – 1) = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (9n + 7), for all n ∈ N.
Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 8
R.H.S. = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [9(1) + 7] = 8
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ 8 + 17 + 26 +…..+ (9k – 1) = \(\frac{k}{2}\) (9k + 7) ……(i)

Step III:
We have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1,
i.e., 8 + 17 + 26 + …… + [9(k + 1) – 1]
Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Methods of Induction and Binomial Theorem Miscellaneous Exercise 4 II Q1 (i)
∴ P(n) is true for n = k + 1.

Step IV:
From all the steps above, by the principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.
∴ 8 + 17 + 26 +…..+ (9n – 1) = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (9n + 7) for all n ∈ N.

(ii) 12 + 42 + 72 + …… + (3n – 2)2 = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (6n2 – 3n – 1)
Solution:
Let P(n) = 12 + 42 + 72 + ….. + (3n – 2)2 = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (6n2 – 3n – 1), for all n ∈ N.
Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S.= 12 = 1
R.H.S.= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [6(1)2 – 3(1) – 1] = 1
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ 12 + 42 + 72 +…..+ (3k – 2)2 = \(\frac{k}{2}\) (6k2 – 3k – 1) ……(i)

Step III:
We have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1,
i.e., to prove that
Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Methods of Induction and Binomial Theorem Miscellaneous Exercise 4 II Q1 (ii)
∴ P(n) is true for n = k + 1.

Step IV:
From all the steps above, by the principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.
∴ 12 + 42 + 72 + … + (3n – 2)2 = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (6n2 – 3n – 1) for all n ∈ N.

(iii) 2 + 3.2 + 4.22 + …… + (n + 1) 2n-1 = n . 2n
Solution:
Let P(n) ≡ 2 + 3.2 + 4.22 +…..+ (n + 1) 2n-1 = n.2n, for all n ∈ N.
Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 2
R.H.S. = 1(21) = 2
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ 2 + 3.2 + 4.22 + ….. + (k + 1) 2k-1 = k.2k …..(i)

Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Methods of Induction and Binomial Theorem Miscellaneous Exercise 4

Step III:
We have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1,
i.e., to prove that
2 + 3.2 + 4.22 +….+ (k + 2) 2k = (k + 1) 2k+1
Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Methods of Induction and Binomial Theorem Miscellaneous Exercise 4 II Q1 (iii)
∴ P(n) is true for n = k + 1.

Step IV:
From all the steps above, by the principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.
∴ 2 + 3.2 + 4.22 +……+ (n + 1) 2n-1 = n.2n for all n ∈ N.

(iv) \(\frac{1}{3.4 .5}+\frac{2}{4.5 .6}+\frac{3}{5.6 .7}+\ldots+\frac{n}{(n+2)(n+3)(n+4)}\) = \(\frac{n(n+1)}{6(n+3)(n+4)}\)

Question 2.
Given that tn+1 = 5tn – 8, t1 = 3, prove by method of induction that tn = 5n-1 + 2.
Solution:
Let the statement P(n) has L.H.S. a recurrence relation tn+1 = 5tn – 8, t1 = 3
and R.H.S. a general statement tn = 5n-1 + 2.
Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 3
R.H.S. = 51-1 + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.
Put n = 2
L.H.S = t2 = 5t1 – 8 = 5(3) – 8 = 7
R.H.S. = t2 = 52-1 + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is tme for n = 2.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ tk+1 = 5tk – 8 and tk = 5k-1 + 2

Step III:
We have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1,
i.e., to prove that
tk+1 = 5k+1-1 + 2 = 5k + 2
tk+1 = 5tk – 8 and tk = 5k-1 + 2 ……[From Step II]
∴ tk+1 = 5(5k-1 + 2) – 8 = 5k + 2
∴ P(n) is true for n = k + 1.

Step IV:
From all the steps above, by the principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.
∴ tn = 5n-1 + 2, for all n ∈ N.
