Induction (a) Assume that PSMI is true. To prove that PMI is true, let P(n) be a statement about the positive integer n. Assume that (i) P(1) is true and (ii) for all m E Z+, if P(m) is true, then P(m + 1) is true. Your goal is to prove that for all n e Z+, P(n) is true. You should do this using PSMI.
