Can someone check this Im not sure for part A :
For part b - I literally cant do it Idk how to approach it

A) Use mathematical Induction to prove that 3^n >n^3 for all integers n >=4

For n=4
LHS= 81
RHS= 64

Therefore LHS > RHS
Thus true

Assume true for n=k, k all real

3^k > k^3

RTP; n=k+1

3^k+1 > k+1^3

LHS= 3(3k)
> 3(K^3) from assumption

3(K^3) > (k+1)^3 since 3k > k+1 as n>=4

Therefore through P of Mi....

Part B) Hence or otherwise show that cube root 3 > n root n for all integers n>=4

I dont know how to do this hence question following up from part a ( and since it was given very little space compared to part A I dont think u go through the induction procedure again so how would u approach this)

Thanks

(from part a)


then raising both sides to 1/n:

or that

Having got to LHS > 3k3, you could then consider the graph of y = 3x3 - (x + 1)3 = 2x3 - 3x2 - 3x + 1, which is a cubic with both of its stationary points below the x-axis and a single x-intercept (a little above x = 2) and so y > 0 for all x > 3, which means LHS > RHS.
