First of all, solve the equation: x22=x\frac{x^2}{2}=x. The latter can be written as: (12x1)x=0(\frac12x-1)x=0. Solutions of the latter are x=2x=2 and x=0.x=0. Thus, we receive the following:

  1. P(1)P(1) is false. 2. P(2)P(2) is true. 3. nP(n)\forall n\,\, P(n) is false (not all numbers\natural numbers are solutions). 4. nP(n)\exists n\,\,P(n) is true, since x=2x=2 is a solution.
