not true  (1+(1/n))^(n+1) <(1+(1/n))^n ,n>0

$${not}\:{true} \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\right)^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} <\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\right)^{{n}} ,{n}>\mathrm{0} \\ $$

n=1  (2)^2 =4  (2)^1 =2  (1+(1/n))^(n+1) >(1+(1/n))^n  for n=1>0

$${n}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{4} \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{2} \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\right)^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} >\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\right)^{{n}} \:\mathrm{for}\:{n}=\mathrm{1}>\mathrm{0} \\ $$

From e^x ≥x+1 ∀x>0  ⇒lne^x ≥ln(x+1)⇒x≥ln(x+1)  ⇒(1/n)≥ln(1+(1/n))⇒1≥nln(1+(1/n))  ⇒1≥ln(1+(1/n))^n ⇒e≥(1+(1/n))^n ...(1)  (1+(1/n))^(n+1) ≥(1+(1/(n+1)))^(n+1) ...(2)  (1+(1/n))^(n+1) ≥(1+(1/N))^N =e , N=(1/(n+1))  (1) and (2)  ⇒(1+(1/n))^(n+1) ≥e≥(1+(1/n))^n   ∀n∈N^+

$$\mathrm{From}\:{e}^{{x}} \geqslant{x}+\mathrm{1}\:\forall{x}>\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\mathrm{ln}{e}^{{x}} \geqslant\mathrm{ln}\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\Rightarrow{x}\geqslant\mathrm{ln}\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\geqslant\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\right)\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}\geqslant{n}\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\right) \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}\geqslant\mathrm{ln}\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\right)^{{n}} \Rightarrow{e}\geqslant\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\right)^{{n}} ...\left(\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\right)^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} \geqslant\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}+\mathrm{1}}\right)^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} ...\left(\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\right)^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} \geqslant\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{N}}\right)^{{N}} ={e}\:,\:{N}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}+\mathrm{1}} \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:\mathrm{and}\:\left(\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\right)^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} \geqslant{e}\geqslant\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}}\right)^{{n}} \:\:\forall{n}\in\mathbb{N}^{+} \\ $$
