Question 1081314: Which of the following shows the correct first step to prove the following by mathematical induction?
3 + 11 + 19 + 27 + … + (8n - 5) = n(4n - 1)
A.) 3 + 11 + 19 + 27 + … + (8 • 1 - 5) = 1(4 • 1 - 1)
B.) 8 • 1 - 5 = 1(4 • 1 - 1)
C.) 3 + 11 + 19 + 27 + … + (8k - 5) = k(4k - 1)
D.) 3 + 11 + 19 + 27 + … + (8k - 5) + [8(k + 1) - 5] = (k + 1)[4(k + 1) - 1]
