    Proving 2^n < n! using Induction: Where to Start?

    NateTG helped me in the original posting, so you can disregard this (unless you want to do it for fun!) Thanks Josh

    Proving 2^n < n! using Induction: Where to Start?

    I posted this elsewhere but realized it ought to be in the homework section. I have to use induction to prove that for n>=4, 2^n < n! is true, but I don't know wehre to start. I have the base case proven, but then I don't know where to go after I have my Inductive Hypothesis that it works for...

    What are the steps to prove 2^n < n! using induction?

    I understand that I'm supposed to get there, but I don't see the *proper* first step to take, as the things I have tried haven't gotten me there.

    What are the steps to prove 2^n < n! using induction?

    I'm to prove that for n>=4, 2^n < n! holds, but I don't know where to go after the inductive hypothesis that it holds for n>= 4 after showing it works for the base case (n = 4). Here are my steps so far: 2^(n+1) < (n+1)! 2*(2^n) < (n+1)(n!) but I dont' know where to now! help is much...

    Troubleshooting Voltmeter Reading w/ Resistance 5*10^4

    This is another problem I am having troubles with. Here's the prompt: What is the reading of a voltmeter with the proper range and with resistance 5*10^4 Ohms when connected between point b and ground? I know that for voltmeters, V = I_fs (R_c + R_s), and I tried solving for V using the...

    What is the final charge on the capacitor in this circuit?

    So I have done most of this problem, but can't seem to find the final charge on that capacitor. It says that there was a switch, even though it is not in the image, and that at t=0 the switch is closed, and that the capictor had no charge initially. I solved for and know that I1 = 4.2 A, I2 =...

    Find E for 1.81 A Through 7.00-Ohm Resistor: EMF Circuit Help

    Clarification...? I tried using that, but I didn't see how to do it, because I don't know the current through the middle section w/the 2-ohm resistor. That being said, how do I make an equation? Would I do something like...man i don't know. I don't know what the current coming out of the 24V...

    Find E for 1.81 A Through 7.00-Ohm Resistor: EMF Circuit Help

    What must the emf E in the figure be in order for the current through the 7.00 - Ohm resistor to be 1.81 A? Each emf source has negligible internal resistance. I solved for I through the 3-ohm resistor using the outer loop: 24V - (1.81A)(7-Ohm) - (3 Ohm)(I) = 0 and got that I = 3.77. I...

    Internal Resistance in a Battery

    Hey I am confused as to the answer to this question; not sure exactly how to figure out what the answer is because it is not a constant resistance. Any help appreciated: The potential difference across the terminals of a battery is V_1 when there is a current of I_1 in the battery from the...

    What is the Calculation for Current in a Circuit with Two Sources of EMF?

    I have problem with a circuit. It has two sources of emf, and I'm not sure how to calculate the magnitued of the current in the circuit due to this. Here's what the circuit looks like (R's are resistors, *'s are just for spacing): |----------+|1|------| |*************** | R = 5...

    Capacitor with partially inserted Dielectric

    But in this case, Ceq is equal to what? I mean how can I solve for that?

    Gauss' Law in Dielectrics Part II

    OK I just want to start from the beginning and try to get the first part of this problem so I can get what is going on in my head and understand it. Here's the problem: A point charge q is imbedded in a solid material of dielectric constant K. A) Use Gauss's law as stated in equation...
