The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the statement \( P(n): n^2 \geq 100 \) and determine the validity of the implications given in the options. ### Step 1: Understanding the statement \( P(n) \) The statement \( P(n) \) asserts that \( n^2 \) is greater than or equal to 100. We need to find the values of \( n \) for which this statement holds true. ### Step 2: Finding the critical value of \( n \) To find the smallest integer \( n \) such that \( n^2 \geq 100 \), we solve the inequality: \[ n^2 \geq 100 \] Taking the square root of both sides gives: \[ n \geq 10 \quad \text{or} \quad n \leq -10 \] Since we are typically interested in non-negative integers for this type of problem, we focus on: \[ n \geq 10 \] ### Step 3: Testing values of \( n \) Now, let's test some values of \( n \): - For \( n = 2 \): \[ P(2): 2^2 = 4 \quad \text{(not } \geq 100\text{, so } P(2) \text{ is false)} \] - For \( n = 3 \): \[ P(3): 3^2 = 9 \quad \text{(not } \geq 100\text{, so } P(3) \text{ is false)} \] - For \( n = 10 \): \[ P(10): 10^2 = 100 \quad \text{(is } \geq 100\text{, so } P(10) \text{ is true)} \] ### Step 4: Analyzing the implications \( P(n) \Rightarrow P(n+1) \) The statement \( P(n) \Rightarrow P(n+1) \) means that if \( P(n) \) is true, then \( P(n+1) \) must also be true. Since we have established that \( P(n) \) is only true for \( n \geq 10 \), this implication holds for all \( n \geq 10 \). ### Step 5: Evaluating the options Now we evaluate the options given in the question: - **Option A**: \( P(n) \) is true for all \( n \). (False, as shown by testing \( n = 2 \) and \( n = 3 \)) - **Option B**: \( P(n) \) is true for all \( n \geq 2 \). (False, as shown by testing \( n = 2 \) and \( n = 3 \)) - **Option C**: \( P(n) \) is true for all \( n \geq 3 \). (False, as shown by testing \( n = 3 \)) - **Option D**: None of these. (True, since all previous options are false) ### Conclusion The correct answer is **Option D: None of these**.
