1.2 +2.22 + 3.22 +…. +n.2n = (n – 1) 2n+1 + 2.


P(1_ is trueAssuming P(k) is true.
1.2 +2.22 + 3.22 +…. +k.2k = (k – 1) 2 k+1 + 2
To prove P(k+1) is true using P(k) lies
1.2 +2.22 + 3.22 +…. +k.2k = (k + 1) 2 k+1 = (k)2 k+1+1 + 2
                                       = k.2k+2 + 2 ……………(1)
L.H.S of (1)
1.2 + 2.22 + 3.22 +………..k.2k + (k+1)2(k+1)(k-1)2k+1 + 2 + (k +1) 2k+1
                                              
= 2k+1 (k+1+k-1)+2
                                       = 2k+1 2k + 2
                                       = 2k+2.k + 2
                                       = k.2k+2 + 2
Which is the R.H.s of (1)
P(K+1) is true.
By the Principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all values of n where n N
Hence proved.
