Prove the following by using the principle of mathematical induction for all `n in N`:`1/2+1/4+1/8+...+1/(2^n)=1-1/(2^n)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,
P(n),`1​+1/4​+1/8​+....+1​/(2^n)=1−1/2^n​`
For n=1
`P(1)=1/2`​, which is true.
Let P(k) be true for k
`1/2​+1/4​+1/8​+....+1/2^k​=1−1/2^k`​....(i)
