Give an example of a statement P(n) which is true for all n ≥ 4 but P(1), P(2) and P(3) are not true. Justify your answer.

1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n =  \[\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}\] i.e. the sum of the first n natural numbers is \[\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}\] .

1² + 2² + 3² + ... + n² =\[\frac{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)}{6}\] .

1 + 3 + 3² + ... + 3ⁿ⁻¹ = \[\frac{3^n - 1}{2}\]

Find x in each of the following:

Find x in each of the following:

\[\frac{1}{1 . 2} + \frac{1}{2 . 3} + \frac{1}{3 . 4} + . . . + \frac{1}{n(n + 1)} = \frac{n}{n + 1}\]

Find x in each of the following:

\[\frac{1}{2 . 5} + \frac{1}{5 . 8} + \frac{1}{8 . 11} + . . . + \frac{1}{(3n - 1)(3n + 2)} = \frac{n}{6n + 4}\]

Which of the following are true:

(2 +3)! = 2! + 3!

Which of the following are true:

(2 × 3)! = 2! × 3!

\[\frac{1}{1 . 4} + \frac{1}{4 . 7} + \frac{1}{7 . 10} + . . . + \frac{1}{(3n - 2)(3n + 1)} = \frac{n}{3n + 1}\]

\[\frac{1}{3 . 5} + \frac{1}{5 . 7} + \frac{1}{7 . 9} + . . . + \frac{1}{(2n + 1)(2n + 3)} = \frac{n}{3(2n + 3)}\]

\[\frac{1}{3 . 7} + \frac{1}{7 . 11} + \frac{1}{11 . 5} + . . . + \frac{1}{(4n - 1)(4n + 3)} = \frac{n}{3(4n + 3)}\] 

2 + 5 + 8 + 11 + ... + (3n − 1) = \[\frac{1}{2}n(3n + 1)\]

1.3 + 2.4 + 3.5 + ... + n. (n + 2) = \[\frac{1}{6}n(n + 1)(2n + 7)\]

1.3 + 3.5 + 5.7 + ... + (2n − 1) (2n + 1) =\[\frac{n(4 n^2 + 6n - 1)}{3}\]

1.2 + 2.3 + 3.4 + ... + n (n + 1) = \[\frac{n(n + 1)(n + 2)}{3}\]
