Question
Example 9.7.1 showed that the following statement is true:
For each integer n > 2,
n(n – 1)
(equation 1).
2
Use this statement to justify the following.
n + 3
(n + 3)(n + 2) for each integer n 2 -1.
%D
n + 1
2
Solution: Let n be any integer withn 2 -1. Since n + 3 2
we can substitute n + 3
in place of n in equation 1 to obtain
(:?) - (-+3
n + 3
n + 3
n + 1
By simplifying and factoring the numerator on the right hand side of this equation we conclude
::) - (n+ 3)(n+2)
n + 3
n + 1
