h) Base case n = 1: 81 − 1 = 7 obviously is divisible by 7
i)
Inductive step n ⇒ n + 1:
Inductive hypothesis for some n: 8n −1 is divisible by 7
We have to show the statement for n + 1: 8n + 1 − 1 = 8∙8n − 1 = 7∙8n + 8n – 1 is divisible by 7
Obviously the first summand 7∙8n 1 is divisible by 7. According to the inductive hypothesis the second summand 8n − 1
too is divisible by 7 and therefore the complete sum is divisible by 7. qed
Base case n = 1: 23 − 2 = 6 1 is divisible by 6
Inductive step n ⇒ n + 1:
Inductive hypothesis for some n: n3 − n is divisible by 6
We have to show the statement for n + 1:
(n + 1)3 − (n + 1) = n3 + 3n2 + 2n = (n3 − n) + (3n2 + 3n) = (n3 − n) + 6∙

n(n + 1) is divisible by 6

According to the inductive hypothesis the left summand n3 − n is divisible by 6. But since either n or n + 1 is even,

n(n + 1) too is divisible by 6 and so is the complete sum. qed

Base case n = 2: (1 + x)2 = 1 + 2x + x2 > 1 + 2x, since x2 > 0∙
n(n + 1) is an integer. Therefore the right summand 6∙
j)
Inductive step n ⇒ n + 1:
Inductive hypothesis for some n: (1 + x)n > 1 + nx
We have to show the statement for n + 1: (1 + x)n + 1 > 1 + (n + 1)x
Plug the hypothesis into the left side:
(1 + x)n + 1 (1 + x)n(1 + x) > (1 + nx)(1 + x) , since we assume 1 + x > 0
= 1 + (n + 1)x + x2
> 1 + (n + 1)x, since x2 > 0
= right side, qed
