    What is sequence and example?
    • A sequence is an ordered list of numbers . The three dots mean to continue forward in the pattern established.
    • Each number in the sequence is called a term. In the sequence 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, …, 1 is the first term, 3 is the second term, 5 is the third term, and so on.
    sequence
    • The statement is true for n = 0 because 0 is divisible by 3.
    • Now suppose we have proved the statement for some n element of N This means that 4^n -1 = 3k for some integer k..
    • We now consider the quantity 4^n+1 -1 = 4 . 4^n – 1 = 3 . 4^n + 4^n – 1
    • We use the inductive hypothesis to simplify that equation to 4^n+1 – 1 = 3 . 4^n + 3k = 3 (4^n + k).
    • We have thus shown that 4^n+ 1- 1 is a multiple of 3.
