Prove the following by induction: (n+1)! > 2 ^ (n+3) for all n ≥ 5.
Added by Juan Francisco S.
Step 1
When n = 5, we have: (5+1)! = 6! = 720 2^(5+3) = 2^8 = 256 Since 720 > 256, the inequality holds true for n = 5. ** Show more…

Mathematical Induction
Use mathematical induction to prove each statement. Assume that n is a positive integer. $$\frac{4}{5}+\frac{4}{5^{2}}+\frac{4}{5^{3}}+\dots+\frac{4}{5^{n}}=1-\frac{1}{5^{n}}$$
