      You may not need this anymore since you asked 2 months ago, but just in case, here's how:
      Expanding the three terms individually:
      (k + 1)^3 = k^3 + 3k^2 + 3k + 1
      -(3k + 1)^2 = -3k^2 - 6k -3
      2(k + 1) = 2k + 2
      So:
      k^3 + 3k^2 + 3k + 1 -3k^2 - 6k -3 + 2k + 2
      Combine like terms:
      = (k^3 - k) then just add the (k - 2)! back in for the answer of (k^3 - k)(k - 2)!

    In the last example, can I write (k+1) as (K-4)+5 and continue the proof that way? Also in that case, I would make sure that my base cases include 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. Is it possible?

    • @jesserosenthal9606
      @jesserosenthal9606 8 років тому +1

    • @IoannesPaulusMagnus

      10 divides 0 if and only if there exists an integer q such that 0 = q * 10.

      it should say "by the binomial expansion" in a proof if it does that.

    I don't understand how you knew [(k+1)k(k-1))](k-2)! is equal to (k+1)!
    can you explain this? I would never be able to think that this is equal to (k+1)! at the top of my head.

    • @cjf6568
      @cjf6568 7 років тому +3

      [(k+1)k(k-1)](k-2)! = (k+1)k(k-1)(k-2)(k-3)...1. So, all natural numbers less than or equal to k+1 multiplied together, so equal to (k+1)!

    • @kevinf1920
      @kevinf1920 7 років тому +2

      (K+1)! is what we were looking for, so it sorta pops up in the mind as the goal.
      (K+1)! = (k+1)(k+0)(k-1)(k-2)! (Although the 0 doesn't need to be written).

    • @michaelbarrus9935
      @michaelbarrus9935  8 років тому

      No, in your induction hypothesis you need to allow the possibility that i equals 1 or 2 or 3 in order to have your proof hold for n=4, n=5, and n=6. In general, you'll typically want to keep your attention on the theorem statement (that g_n = n! for all natural numbers...meaning for all integers n from 1 on) and use that first possible value (1, here) in saying what i should be allowed to start from. (Be careful not to be distracted by the fact that the recurrence applies when n is at least 4--we're not proving the recurrence (we're just using it), so the important thing is to focus on the statement you're trying to prove.)

    • @HassanNasruMohdKamil
      @HassanNasruMohdKamil 8 років тому

      Thank you! Your explanation made much sense. I was trying to form a pattern for the inequality of i's from the examples so I got slightly confused. I understand that strong induction revolves around the idea of the numbers preceding k to be true but it's hard to establish the grounds for the method sometimes. In time I'll get the hang of it
