We first establish that the proposition P n is true for the lowest possible value of the positive integer n. Show it is true for the first one. It is the leverage of going from the smaller cases to the bigger one that matters.
Heres the statement of mathematical induction.
For every positive integer n let Pn be a statement. Assuming n 1 coso isino 1 cos. In this video we solve another problem on proof by mathematical inductionPrevious video in this series. Then we need to check whether all dominoes are perfectly alined such that every domino will make the next one fall.
