If
prove that
for every positive integer n.
Given
.
We need to prove that
.
We will prove this result using the principle of mathematical induction.
Step 1: When n = 1, we have ![]()


![]()
Hence, the equation is true for n = 1.
Step 2: Let us assume the equation true for some n = k, where k is a positive integer.

To prove the given equation using mathematical induction, we have to show that
.
We know Ak+1 = Ak × A.







Hence, the equation is true for n = k + 1 under the assumption that it is true for n = k.
Therefore, by the principle of mathematical induction, the equation is true for all positive integer values of n.
Thus,
for every positive integer n.
