ANSWER:Step 1 of 6
The statement P(1)
We have
![1 cubed plus 2 cubed plus..... plus n cubed equals open parentheses fraction numerator n open parentheses n plus 1 close parentheses over denominator 2 end fraction close parentheses squared](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/PFt2QxhgX86T_DTMuv4bkb4NYxtV8dPi7Wsx5au29wcqwp3o59tVERgT4adkK_8kiPb8uvKSU8_jxeIdtguCaZyZh-Ga9j3TkhlFrj7DvjF_atxUR-CAwvpK9maqVMnHxsqm_ZpG2iPKGKp9Ao0 "{\"mathml\":\"<math style=\\"font-family:stix;font-size:16px;\\" xmlns=\\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\\"><mstyle mathsize=\\"16px\\"><msup><mn>1</mn><mn>3</mn></msup><mo>+</mo><msup><mn>2</mn><mn>3</mn></msup><mo>+</mo><mo>.</mo><mo>.</mo><mo>.</mo><mo>.</mo><mo>.</mo><mo>+</mo><msup><mi>n</mi><mn>3</mn></msup><mo>=</mo><msup><mfenced><mfrac><mrow><mi>n</mi><mfenced><mrow><mi>n</mi><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></mfenced></mrow><mn>2</mn></mfrac></mfenced><mn>2</mn></msup></mstyle></math>\"}")
Substitute n=1 in the above equation
To get
![1 cubed equals open parentheses fraction numerator 1 open parentheses 1 plus 1 close parentheses over denominator 2 end fraction close parentheses squared
