Prove that (1+2+3+⋯+n)2=13+23+33+⋯+n3 for every n∈N.
I'm trying to use induction on this one, but I'm not sure how to. The base case is clearly true. But when I add n+1 to the right and left hand sides, I don't know what I'm supposed to get. For example, when I extend the right hand side's sequence by n+1, I get n3+(n+1)3 at the end of the sequence, which is 2n3+3n2+3n+1.
This doesn't seem that meaningful, so I don't know how to proceed.
