    I don't get INDUCTION!!

    (k+1)3<= 2(k+1)2 k3 + 3k2 + 3k + 1 <= 2k2+ 4k + 2 k3 + 3k2 <= 2k2+ k + 1 I dont get how you got the second line from the first line (above). Now is 3k2 <= k + 1 for all integer k>0 Test k=1 3<=2 false Are you allowed to sub in numbers like that in the 3rd step of a proof that...

    I don't get INDUCTION!!

    lol but now im stuck on methodology of induction Prove the below equation holds/does not hold for all integers ( n>0 ) (n^3) <= 2(n^2) could someone solve this by induction please?

    I don't get INDUCTION!!

    Okay, by induction, how would you un-prove this one (n^3) <= 2(n^2) because it works for n = 1 1<2 pretend n = k so it works for one instance of k and it works for one instance of k+1 (i.e. 2) 8 = 8 But fuks up after. I guess now its about the methodology, how do you...

    I don't get INDUCTION!!

    lol yeaaa you see that's da kinda explanation i was looking for! lol but i still got questions. sorta. so you're saying that for this sorta proof, it's about assuming something works, and then proving it doesnt, and if you can't prove it doesnt, then it does...which makes sense. Well, at...

    I don't get INDUCTION!!

    That wasn't what I meant by I don't get it. The method I know. The reasoning behind the method is just...not right though. You shouldn't be able to have a proof that has the inclusion of an assumption in it. That screws up the proof.

    I don't get INDUCTION!!

    Statement is true for n = 1. Let k = 1 so that k + 1 = 2. Let k = 2 so that k + 1 = 3. Let k = 3 so that k + 1 = 4 and so on. By this process, you can let k = ANY integer --> please note this before i continue the argument of my inability to understand induction logic. Because you...

    I don't get INDUCTION!!

    See, I just want to know if anyone else has the same problem accepting the reasoning behind the inductive process. I'll use the domino theory soulsearcher highlighted for me. 1. The first domino will fall. 2. Whenever a domino falls, its next neighbor will also fall. then you can conclude...

    I don't get INDUCTION!!

    Hey i posted this because i seriously don't understand how induction works logically. I mean the first step is alright, prove n = 1 works, that's all well and good. But then the second step seems a bit...weird to me. Induction is meant to be proving an equation thingy works for all integers...

    Subject Matter for Creative Writing

    It doesnt matter what topic you choose. As long as you can write good about it. Teachers don't like reading cheesy stuff, they don't like reading stuff that sounds semi-smart. They want to read stuff that seems like a reaal book. Liek a reaaal author would have written. Everything else just gets...
