A student wants to prove by induction that a predicate P holds for certain integers. They have proven for all (not just nonnegative) integers in that P(n) → P(n − 5). Suppose the student has proven P(6). Which of the following propositions can they infer? O P(n) does not hold for n < 6 O P(n) does not hold for n > 6 O Vn ≤0, P(6n + 5) O Vn ≤0, P(5n+6)
