Using principle of mathematical induction prove that

for all natural numbers n ≥ 2.

The distributive law from algebra states that for real numbers

c, a1 and a2, we have c(a1 + a2) = c a1 + ca2


Use this law and mathematical induction to prove that, for all


natural numbers, n ≥ 2, if c, a1, a2, …... an are any real numbers,


then c(a1 + a2 +…+ an) = c a1 + c a2 +…+ c an.
