Question

Use mathematical induction to prove the statement for all positive integers n.
2+14+26+...+(12n-10) = n(6n-4)
What is the first step in a mathematical induction proof?
A. Show that S₁ is true.
B. Show that So is true.
C. Show that Sk is true.
D. Show that Sk + 1 is true.

Show that 2+14+26++ (12n-10) = n(6n-4) for n = 1. Write the statement S₁.
2= (Do not simplify.)

Simplify S₁ on the right.
2=

Is S₁ a true statement?
