Solution

It is given that A=111111111
To show: P(n):An=3n13n13n13n13n13n13n13n13n1,nN
We shall prove that the result by using the principle of mathematical induction .
For n=1, we have:
P(1):3n13n13n13n13n13n13n13n13n1=303030303030303030=111111111=A
Therefore, the result is true for n=1.
Let the result be true for n=k.
That
is P(k):Ak=⎢ ⎢3k13k13k13k13k13k13k13k13k1⎥ ⎥
Now, we prove that the result is true for n=k+1.
Now, Ak+1=A.Ak
111111111k⎢ ⎢3k13k13k13k13k13k13k13k13k1⎥ ⎥
=⎢ ⎢3.3k13.3k13.3k13.3k13.3k13.3k13.3k13.3k13.3k1⎥ ⎥
=⎢ ⎢3(k+1)13(k+1)13(k+1)13(k+1)13(k+1)13(k+1)13(k+1)13(k+1)13(k+1)1⎥ ⎥
Therefore, the result is true for n=k+1.
Thus by the principle of mathematical induction , we have:
An=3n13n13n13n13n13n13n13n13n1,nN
