Suppose that we want to prove that for all positive

Chapter 5, Problem 74E

(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose that we want to prove that for all positive integers n.a) Show that if we try to prove this inequality using mathematical induction, the basis step works, but the inductive step fails.________________b) Show that mathematical induction can be used to prove the stronger inequality for all integers greater than 1, which, together with a verification for the case where n = 1, establishes the weaker inequality we originally tried to prove using mathematical induction.
