Do a proof by mathematical induction using the four steps below to show that the following statement is true for every positive integer n:

(2+6+18+...+2*3^{n-1}=3^{n}-1\)

Question 1: Show that the base case is true

Question 2: What is the inductive hypothesis P(k)?

Question 3: Show what you have to prove, that is P(k+1)

Question 4: Prove P(k)P(k+1): (Justify each step)
