bare with me, its my first time attempting induction...I'm having problem with q2 .
1. Prove 3+10+17+...+(7n-4)=n/2(7n-1) for all n is equal or above 1.
I could do that question, since the difference was 7, and i could do step 2. Assume.
Though in this other question,
2. 5+11+19+...+(8n-3) = n(4n+1) for all n is equal or above 1.
I don't understand how to do step 2, as i took away the difference from 8n-3?
Sorry if this sounds confusing, but im also confused.. :/
