Show, by the Principle of Mathematical Induction:
\n" ); document.write( "8 + 16 + 24+…+8n = 4n(n+1) for n≥1
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Show it is true for n = 1
\n" ); document.write( "8 = 4(2)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Assume it is true for n = k
\n" ); document.write( "8 + 2*8 + 3*8 + ... + 8k = 4k(k+1)
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Show that it must be true for n = k+1
\n" ); document.write( "8 + 2*8 + 3*8 + ... + 8k + (k+1)8 = 4(k+1)(k+2)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Note:: The 1st 8 terms = 4k(k+1) so you get::
\n" ); document.write( "4k(k+1) + (k+1)(8) = (k+1)[4k+8] = (k+1)*4(k+2) = 4(k+1)(k+2)
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
