How would I prove these using strong induction? What would the base cases be? Problem #1: Problem #2:
Added by Carlos J.
Step 1
Base case: For n=1, the only power of 2 is 2^0=1, so the statement is true. Inductive step: Assume that for all positive integers k less than or equal to n, the statement is true. We need to show that the statement is also true for n+1. Since n+1 is greater Show more…
