,
.
.
.
is
defined
by
letting
a
1
=
3
and
a
k
=
7
a
k
-
1
for
all
natural
numbers
k
≥
2
.
Show
that
a

Solution
Let
P
n
:
a
n
=
3
·
7
n
-
1
for
all
n
∈
N
.
Step
I
:
For
n
=
1
,
P
1
:
a
1
=
3
·
7
1
-
1
=
3
·
1
=
3
So
,
it
is
true
for
n
=
1
.
Step
II
:
For
n
=
k
,
Let
P
k
:
a
k
=
3
·
7
k
-
1
be
true
for
some
k
∈
N
and
k
≥
2
.
Step
III
:
For
n
=
k
+
1
,
a
k
+
1
=
7
a
k
=
7
·
3
·
7
k
-
1
Using
step
II
=
3
·
7
k
-
1
+
1
=
3
·
7
k
+
1
-
1
So
,
it
is
also
true
for
n
=
k
+
1
.
Hence
,
a
n
=
3
·
7
n
-
1
for
all
n
∈
N
.
