Prove the following by the principle of mathematical induction: `(1-1/(2^2))(1-1/(3^2))(1-1/(4^2))(1-1/(n^2))=(n+1)/(2n)` or all natural numbers`\ ngeq2.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

` (1-\frac{1}{2^{2}})(1-\frac{1}{3^{2}}) \ldots .(1-\frac{1}{n^{2}})=\frac{n+1}{2 n} ` `\begin{array}{ll}\text { Given } n \geq 2 \\ \text { For } n=2\end{array} ` ` LHS =(1-\frac{1}{2^{2}})=1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}` `RHS P (2)=\frac{2+1}{2(2)}=\frac{3}{4}` `LHS = RHS` `P (n)` is true for `n=2` Assume that `P (n)` is true for `n=k` ...
