Use mathematical induction to prove the statement is true for every positive integer n. 8+16+24+...+8n=4n(n+1) What is the first step in a mathematical induction proof? Show that So is true. Show that S₁ is true. Show that Sk is true. Show that Sk+1 is true. Let S be the statement 8 + 16 + 24 + ... +8n=4n(n + 1). Write the statement S₁. S₁: (Do not simplify.) Simplify S, on the right. S₁:8= Is S₁ a true statement? Yes No
