Question 1035666: For a proof by induction of the math statement below, identify the correct step for proving the theorem is true for n = k + 1.
1+3+5+...+(2n-1)=n^2
A: 1+3+5...+(2k-1)+(2(k+1)-1)=(k+1)^2
B: 1+3+5...+(2k-1)=(k+1)^2
C: 1+3+5...+(2k-1)=(k)^2
D: 1+3+5...+(2k-1)+k+1=(2k+1)^2 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
