Using mathematical induction, show that 3 n < (n + 2)! for all integers n ≥ 2.

OpenStudy (gorv):

first take n=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first put n=1 int the given equation 1< (1+2)! 1< 3! so it is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now put k at the place of n

OpenStudy (gorv):

thn consider that it is true for n and go for n+1

OpenStudy (gorv):

3(n+1)<(n+1+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k< (k+2)! okay now put k+1 = n okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am having trouble simplfying both sides. Other induction questions were so easy but I really dont understand with this one...

but in the text of this exercise have wrote that n>= 2 then why begin with n=1 ???
