    Prove that S1, S2, S3 are true statements 1+3+5+...+(2n-1)=n^2 S1=1= (2(1)-1) = 1^2 True S2=1+3 = (2(3)-1) = 5 which cannot= to the sum of our first 2 integers, which will make it false! S3=1+3+5 = (2(5)-1) = 3^2 True The problem is with S2 the book gave me an answer of 4=4 which is...

    I agree, grammar isn't my strong point in composition. For now on i'll focus on eveerything 100% since everything is important. Just to be good at everything since very often i hear people say, "just focus on your upper level courses you won't need much of that and that"
