Suppose that P(n) is a propositional function. Determine for which positive integers n the statement P(n) must be true if: P(1) is true; for all positive integers n, if P(n) is true then P(n+2) is true.(a) P(3)(b) P(2)(c) P(4)(d) P(6)This question was addressed to me in homework.My question comes from Strong Induction and Well-Ordering topic in portion Induction and Recursion of Discrete Mathematics

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) P(3)

To EXPLAIN: By induction we can PROVE that P(3)is TRUE but we can’t CONCLUDE about P(2), p(6) and P(4).
