No.
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.
All integers are not odd.
No. It's not true for n=2, where 14n - 1 = 28 - 1 = 27, which is not
It is a method of proving a statement for all values of a variable - usually for all integers. Often, the process is as follows: Prove the statement for n = 1 Assume that the statement is true for n = k and prove that, in that case, it must be true for n = k+1. Invoke the law of induction to assert that it is true for all [integer] values of n.
That's a true statement. Another true statement is: All integers are rational numbers.
This statement is true when the two integers are positive, or when the two integers are negative.
The statement is false.
No.

They are integers.

false
Replace "not" with "1" and you have a true statement.

That is false. This type of statement is only true for prime numbers, not for compound numbers such as 6. Counterexample: 2 x 3 = 6
