What is proof by induction?
Mathematical induction is just a way of proving a statement to be true for all positive integers: prove the statement to be true about 1; then assume it to be true for a generic integer x, and prove it to be true for x + 1; it therefore must be true for all positive integers.
Prove that if x and y are positive integers then x square plus y square is even but not divisible by 4?
The statement cannot be proven because it is FALSE. If one of x and y is odd and the other is even then x2 + y2 MUST be odd. Also if x and y are even then x2 + y2 MUST be divisible by 4. The statement is only true if x and y are odd integers. Whether or not they are positive makes little difference.
