Let Pn be the proposition

(2r + 1)(2r + 3) = 3(2n + 3) for n .

r =1

When n = 1:

(2r + 1)(2r + 3) = (2(1) + 1)(2(1) + 3) = 15 RHS = 3(2(1) + 3) = 15

LHS =

r =1

Since LHS = RHS, P1 is true.

Assume Pk is true for some k + ,

(2r + 1)(2r + 3) = 3(2k + 3) ,

Pk is true Pk +1 is true
Since P1 is true, Pk is true Pk +1 is true , by mathematical induction, Pn is true
