#

you can use induction, right?

#

the induction hypothesis? that shouldn't be a problem to figure out

#

you probably mean how to prove the inductive step

#

Did you try?

#

the inductive step is: For an integer n > 0, assume that the claim holds for this n. With that, prove that the assertion also holds for n+1 in place of n.

#

try to write explicitly what is the induction hypothesis

#

and the assertion you need to prove using it (aka the thing with n+1 in place of n)

#

i gotta go now for a couple of hours, good luck o/
