Prove by induction that sumni=0left(frac32right)i=2left(frac32right)n+12


Prove, disprove, or give a counterexample:



ni=0(32)i=2(32)n+12.





I went about this as a proof by induction. I did the base case and got the LHS = RHS. When I went to show P(k)P(k+1) I could not get the LHS to equal the RHS. Is this because it isn't a proof by induction? Or, that it cannot be proved?



Any help would be greatly appreciated.
