Homework Statement
show n3 + n < 3n for all n >= 4
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I.H : n3 + n < n for all n >= 4
3(n3 + n) < 3(3n)
then (3n+1) = 3 x 3 n
> 3((n3) + n ) by I.H
> (n+1)3 + (n+1)
if we show 3(n3 + n ) - [(n+1)3 + (n+1)] > 0 by subbin in 4 which is n >= 4, does it suffice as proof?
