Prove n+1 < n for n>0 Assume for a value k; K+1< K We now do the inductive hypothesis, by adding 1 to each side K+1+1 < k+1 => K+2< k+1 Thus we show that for all consecutive integers k; k+1> k Where did we go wrong?

Prove the following statement by mathematical induction. For every integer n ≥ 0, 2n <(n + 2)! Proof (by mathematical induction): Let P(n) be the inequality 2n < (n + 2)!. We will show that P(n) is true for every integer n ≥ 0. Show that P(0) is true: Before simplifying, the left-hand side of P(0) is _______ and the right-hand side is ______ . The fact that the statement is true can be deduced from that fact that 20...

Let A ={1-1/n | n is a natural number} Prove that 0 is a lower bound and 1 is an upper bound:  Start by taking x in A.  Then x = 1-1/n for some natural number n.  Starting from the fact that 0 < 1/n < 1 do some algebra and arithmetic to get to 0 < 1-1/n <1. Prove that lub(A) = 1:  Suppose that r is another upper bound.  Then wts that r<= 1.  Suppose not.  Then r<1.  So 1-r>0....
