Find the mistakes in the proof fragments . Theorem: For any integer n 0, 1+2+22 ++2n =2n+1 1. Proof (by mathematical induction): Let the property P(n) be 1+2+22 ++2n =2n+1 1. Show that P(0) is true: The left-hand side of P(0) is 1+2+22 ++20 =1 and the right-hand side is 20+1 1=21=1 also. So P(0) is true.
