For every integer n ≥ 2, let P(n) be the following inequality.
2n< (n + 1)!
(a) What is P(2)?
O 4 < (n + 2)!
4 <4
4 < 6
4 <2
O 2 < (n + 2)!
Is P(2) true?
Yes
O No
(b) What is P(k)?
Ok² < (K + 1)!
Ok² <k!
O 2k < (k + 1)!
O 2k <k!
2n< (n + k)!
(c) What is P(k + 1)?
O 2k + 1 < (k+ 1)!
O 2 + 1 < (n + k + 1)!
O 2k +1 < (k + 2)!
O (k+ 1)² < (k+ 1)!
○ (k+ 1)² < (k+ 2)!
(d) In a proof by mathematical induction that this inequality holds for every integer n ≥ 2, what must be shown in the inductive step?
O We need to show that if k is any integer with k ≥ 2 and if P(k) is true, then P(k+ 1) is also true.
O We need to show that if k is any integer with k ≥ 2 and if P(k) is true, then P(k + 1) is false.
O We need to show that if k is any integer with k ≥ 2 and if P(k) is false, then P(k + 1) is true.
O We need to show that if k is any integer with k ≥ 2 and if P(k) is false, then P(k+ 1) is also false.
