I am trying to prove that for any integer where n≥1, this is true:
(1+2+3+⋯+(n−1)+n)2=13+23+33+⋯+(n−1)3+n3
I've done the base case and I am having problems in the step where I assume that the above is true and try to prove for k=n+1.
I managed to get,
(1+2+3+⋯+(k−1)+k+(k+1))2=(1+2+3+⋯+(k−1)+k)2+(k+1)3
but I'm not quite sure what to do next as I haven't dealt with cases where both sides could sum up to an unknown integer.
