using mathematical induction to prove
\n" ); document.write( "8+10+12+...+(2n+6) = n^2 +7n ,
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Check for n=1
\n" ); document.write( "8 = 1^2+7*1
\n" ); document.write( "8 = 8
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Assume the formula is true for n = k
\n" ); document.write( "8+10+12+...+(2k+6) = k^2+7k
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Prove the formula is true for n = k+1
\n" ); document.write( "[8+10+12+...+(2k+6)]+(2(k+1)+6) = [k^2+7k] + (2(k+1)+6
\n" ); document.write( "= k^2+7k+2k+8
\n" ); document.write( "= k^2+2k+1+7k+7
\n" ); document.write( "= (k+1)^2+7(k+1)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the formula is true for all positive whole numbers.\r
