Using Eq(1), we get
= x2 {m (x + y) + y2k} – y2k. y2
= m (x + y) x2 + y2k. x2 – y2k. y2
Taking out the common terms
= m (x + y) x2 + y2k (x2 – y2)

3 2(k + 1) + 2 – 8 (k + 1) – 9
= 3 2k + 2 . 32 – 8k – 8 – 9
By adding and subtracting 8k and 9 we get
= 32 (32k + 2 – 8k – 9 + 8k + 9) – 8k – 17
= 32 (32k + 2 – 8k – 9) + 32 (8k + 9) – 8k – 17
Using Eq(1), we get
= 9. 8m + 9 (8k + 9) – 8k – 17
= 9. 8m + 72k + 81 – 8k – 17
= 9. 8m + 64k + 64
By taking out the common terms
= 8 (9m + 8k + 8)

Let’s prove that P(k + 1) is also true. Now, we have
41k + 1 – 14k + 1
= 41k. 41 – 14k. 14
By adding and subtracting 14k we get
= 41 (41k – 14k + 14k) – 14k. 14
= 41 (41k – 14k) + 41. 14k – 14k. 14
Using Eq(1), we get
= 41. 27m + 14k ( 41 – 14)
= 41. 27m + 27. 14k
By taking out the common terms
= 27 (41m – 14k)

2 (k + 1) + 7 < k2 + 6k + 9 + 2
2 (k + 1) + 7 < k2 + 6k + 11
Here,
k2 + 6k + 11 < k2 + 8k + 16
