Step 1: Formulate the statement to be proven by induction.
Step 2: Show that there is at least one value of the natural numbers, n, for which the statement is true.
Step 3: Show that, if you assume it is true for any natural number m, greater or equal to n, then it must be true for the next value, m+1.
Then, by induction, you have proven that the statement (step 1) is true for all natural numbers greater than or equal to n. Note that n need not be 1.

What is mathematical induction?
Mathematical Induction is a process uses in College Algebra It can be used to prove that a sequence is equal to an equation For Example: 1+3+5+7+n+2=2n+1 there are 3 steps to mathematical induction the first includes proving that the equation is true for n=1 the second includes substituting k for every n-term the third involves substituting k+1 for every k-term to prove that both sides are equal
How do you solve mathematical induction problems?
Assume something (e.g. equations) using k then prove k+1 using k.
Can mathematical concertain every steps be interchanged?
"concertain" is not a term that is recognised. However, the answer is probably not.

What is unreasonable mean in math?
It means the same in math as it means else where--it means not reasonable. If you show mathematical steps that are not reasonable to solve a math problem or show a math proof, then your math is unreasonable.
