n(n + 1)(2n + 1)
1. Use mathematical induction to prove that 12 + 22 + 32 + · · · + n2 =
6
is true for all n is positive integers.
n(n + 1)(2n + 1)
Solution Let P (n) : 12 + 22 + 32 + · · · + n2 = Where n is a positive
6
integers.
(1) Since
(1)(1 + 1)(2(1) + 1) (1)(2)(3)
= = 12
6 6
(1)(1 + 1)(2(1) + 1)
Therefore P (1) is 12 = is ture
6
(2) Let k is positive integer, If P (k) is ture, then
k(k + 1)(2k + 1)
12 + 2 2 + 3 2 + · · · + k 2 = (1)
6
Therfore P (k + 1) is ture
By Mathematical Induction, P (n) is ture for all n is a positive integers.
