Putf(x)=xn−x−n.Wehavef(1)f(2)=(−n)(2n−2−n)=−n(2n−2−n)⩽0(1)Indeed,putg(n)=2n−n−2theng′(n)=2nln2−1>4ln2−1>0.Hence,g(n)isanincreasefunctionon[2;∞)⇒g(n)>g(2)=0∀n⩾2Thus,(1)istrue∀n⩾2,sobyRolle′stheoremweinferf(x)hasarootun∈(1,2).Furthermore,f′(x)=nxn−1−1>0∀x∈(1,+∞)sounisuniquerootsincef(x)isanicreaseon[1,+∞)
