AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on proving the inequality n^n ≤ 1*3*5...(2n-1) for any natural number n. Participants suggest using mathematical induction to establish the proof, starting with the assumption that the inequality holds for a specific natural number k. They recommend examining the multiplicative factors involved when transitioning from k to k+1 to demonstrate that the left side grows slower than the right side. One participant clarifies that the inequality is indeed greater than or equal to, not strictly less than. The conversation highlights the challenge of the problem while encouraging collaborative problem-solving.

Homework Statement


Prove that n^n (is less than or equal to) 1*3*5...(2n-1)

n^n ≥ 1*3*5...(2n-1)

.Where n is any natural number.I think Arithmetic or Geometric progression is used (A.P.>G.P.)


The Attempt at a Solution



i don't know how to solve this type of questions.
please give hints only for how to solve

That seems to be a tricky problem.
I would suggest to try induction. Assume that the inequality holds for k. Then check what you multiply with on the left-hand side and on the right-hand side to get from k to (k+1). This way, I was able to show that what you multiply the left-hand side with is greater than that on the right-hand side, but it wasn't easy. Do the first steps and I can help you if you are having troubles.
btw: it's greater than or equal to, not less than or equal to
 


i got it
thank you for your help
