Mathematical induction
a.)
Use the Principle of Mathematical Induction to prove that n3 > n2 + 3 for all n ≥ 2.
b.)
Use mathematical induction to prove that every amount of postage of six cents or more
can be formed using 3-cent and 4-cent stamps.
This shows how to use mathematical induction in a proof.
