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 as a method to establish the proof. The approach involves assuming the inequality holds for a natural number k and then demonstrating that it also holds for k+1 by comparing the multiplicative factors on both sides. Clarification is provided that the inequality is indeed greater than or equal to, not less than or equal to.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mathematical induction
  • Familiarity with sequences and series, specifically odd number products
  • Basic knowledge of inequalities in mathematics
  • Concept of natural numbers
NEXT STEPS

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
