Correct Application of Inductive Hypothesis












1












$begingroup$


To provide full context of the practice question I'm attempting, it is as follows:




For every integer n such that n ≥ 8, there exist nonnegative integers an and bn such that 3an + 5bn = n.



Write a proof of the claim using the strong form of mathematical induction with the integer 10 as breakpoint — such that that n = 8, n = 9 and n = 10 would all be considered in the basis.




This is my attempt at the proof, but I can't seem to get past applying the I.H. in order to reach my goal in the inductive step.




Basis

If n = 8, then 3a8 + 5b8 = 8

If n = 9, then 3a9 + 5b9 = 9

If n = 10, then 3a10 + 5b10 = 10



Inductive Hypothesis

Let k be an integer such that k ≥ 10. It is necessary and sufficient to use the following:




  • Inductive Hypothesis: 3an + 5bn = n for every integer n such that 8 ≤ n ≤ k.


Inductive Claim
3ak+1 + 5bk+1 = k+1




Now I have to complete the remainder of the proof but I'm not even sure if I was proving it correctly so far or how to complete it from where I'm at.



Any guidance would be much appreciated!

          Note that, in particular, there are $a_{k-2}$ and $b_{k-2}$ such that $3a_{k-2} + 5b_{k-2} = k-2$. Now add $3$ to both sides.

            @man2006 You don;t deduce $a_{k-2}$ and $b_{k-2}$ You just assume that you have those numbers such that $3a_{k-2} + 5b_{k-2} = k-2$. Now, how can you change those two numbers such that that $3a_{k+1} + 5b_{k+1} = k+1$? What is the relation between $a_{k+1}$ and $a_{k-2}$, and what is the relation between $a_{k+1}$ and $a_{k-2}$?

          • $begingroup$
            In this case, the best way to change those two numbers would be through the application of the Inductive Hypothesis. The relation between both a_k+1 and a_k-2 would be through the base which is a if I'm not mistaken.

            @man2006 Because $3$ is a number, you can add it to everything. Why wouldn't you be able to add $3$ to something? More generally, because you can do anything you like to an equality, providing you apply the same function to the value of each side. The existence of $a_{k-2}$ and $b_{k-2}$ follows immediately from the inductive hypothesis. You don't need to know anything about them other than that it exists.

          For the step, see answer by @user3482749



          But other than the inductive step, you also need to show that you can find actual values for $a_n$ and $b_n$ (and the others) in your base cases to make sure these work!



          For example, to satisfy that $3a_8+5b_8=8$, you can set $a_8=1$ and $b_8=1$



          Now do this for the other base cases as well

            Along the same lines, would I be able to set a_9 = 2 or any other number such that it satisfies the right hand side is equal to 9 and the same for b_9?

          Am I allowed to add 3 with no restrictions arbitrarily? Also, how would I be able to deduce a_k-2 and b_k-2 from my previous steps?

          $begingroup$
          @man2006 You don;t deduce $a_{k-2}$ and $b_{k-2}$ You just assume that you have those numbers such that $3a_{k-2} + 5b_{k-2} = k-2$. Now, how can you change those two numbers such that that $3a_{k+1} + 5b_{k+1} = k+1$? What is the relation between $a_{k+1}$ and $a_{k-2}$, and what is the relation between $a_{k+1}$ and $a_{k-2}$?

          $begingroup$
          In this case, the best way to change those two numbers would be through the application of the Inductive Hypothesis. The relation between both a_k+1 and a_k-2 would be through the base which is a if I'm not mistaken.

          $begingroup$
          @man2006 Because $3$ is a number, you can add it to everything. Why wouldn't you be able to add $3$ to something? More generally, because you can do anything you like to an equality, providing you apply the same function to the value of each side. The existence of $a_{k-2}$ and $b_{k-2}$ follows immediately from the inductive hypothesis. You don't need to know anything about them other than that it exists.

          For the step, see answer by @user3482749



          But other than the inductive step, you also need to show that you can find actual values for $a_n$ and $b_n$ (and the others) in your base cases to make sure these work!



          For example, to satisfy that $3a_8+5b_8=8$, you can set $a_8=1$ and $b_8=1$



          Now do this for the other base cases as well
