Prove these scenarios by mathematical induction:
(1) Prove n2 < 2n for all integers
n>4
(2) Prove that a finite set with n elements has 2n
subsets
(3) Prove that every amount of postage of 12 cents or more can
be formed using just 4-cent and 5-cent stamps
Consider the sequence: x0=1/6 and xn+1 =
2xn- 3xn2 | for all natural
numbers n.
Show:
a) xn< 1/3 for all n.
b) xn>0 for all n.
Hint. Use induction.
c) show xn isincreasing.
d) calculate the limit.
1a. Proof by induction: For every positive integer
n,
1•3•5...(2n-1)=(2n)!/(2n•n!). Please explain what the exclamation
mark means. Thank you for your help!
1b. Proof by induction: For each integer n>=8,
there are nonnegative integers a and b such that n=3a+5b
