![(Skeletons of proofs) (i) Let P(n): 2^n >n^2 , ∀n≥5,n∈Z. P(5): 2^5 =32>25=5^2 ⇒P(n) true for n=5. Supppose P(n) true for n=k (k≥5): 2^k >k^2 P(k+1): 2^k >k^2 ×2: 2^(k+1) >2k^2 2^(k+1) >k^2 +k^2 −2k+1+2k−1 2^(k+1) >k^2 −2k−1+(k+1)^2 2^(k+1) >(k−1)^2 −2+(k+1)^2 ∵ k≥5⇒k−1≥4⇒(k−1)^2 ≥16 (k−1)^2 −2≥14>0 ∴(k−1)^2 −2+(k+1)^2 >(k+1)^2 Hence, 2^(k+1) >(k+1)^2 . ∴ P(k)⇒P(k+1) ∵ P(5) is true, by P.M.I, 2^n >n^2 ∀n≥5,n∈Z. (ii) Let P(n): n!>3^(n−1) , n≥5,n∈Z. P(5): 5!=120>3^4 =81 ∴ P(n) true for n=5. Suppose P(n) true for n=k (k≥5): k!>3^(k−1) P(k+1): k!>3^(k−1) ×(k+1>0): (k+1)!>(k+1)3^(k−1) ∵ k≥5⇒k+1≥6⇒(k+1)3^(k−1) ≥6×3^(k−1) (k+1)3^(k−1) ≥2×3^k >3^k Hence, (k+1)!>3^([k+1]−1) . ∴ P(k)⇒P(k+1) Since P(5) is true, by P.M.I, k!>3^(k−1) ∀n≥5,n∈Z.](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q2756.png)
