Given u1 2 , un 1 4un 15 for n

Let P(n) be the statement that un 3 4 5 , for n

For P(1),
L.H.S. = 2 (given)
11
R.H.S. = 3 4 5 2
L.H.S.=R.H.S. P(1) is true.
Assume that P(k) is true for some k ,
k 1
i.e. uk 3 4 5
n 1

To show P(k + 1) is true,

k
i.e. uk 1 3 4 5
uk 1 4uk 15

4 3 4k 1 5 15
3 4k 20 15
3 4k 5

R.H.S.
P(k ) is true P(k 1) is true .
Since P(1) is true and P(k ) is true P(k 1) is true,
P(n) is true for n .
