To prove a statement by mathematical induction we use three steps:
Step 1. We prove that the statement is true for n=1.
=> => .
Step 2. Assume that the statement is true for n=k.
9+18+27+...+9k = 9k(k+1)/2.
Step 3.We prove that the statement is true for n=k+1.
9+18+27+...+9k+9(k+1) = 9(k+1)(k+2)/2.
Substitute the assuming result in step 2 to the step 3 we have:
, thus
the statement is true.
