Discrete math: Let P(n) be the statement n! < nⁿ , where n is an integer greater than 1. Use mathematical induction to prove that P(n) is true for all integers greater than 1.
In the proofs below, use the method of Mathematical Induction as explained in your textbook and the contents. Make sure you include the following: The initial step. The P(k) statement. The P(k+1 ) statement. Show your algebra steps clearly. The question is in the attached image below.
This is not writing question. This is from Discrete Maths and Real Analsysis. So, do not reject question this time.

Q5 We are trying to prove that a proposition P(n) is true for all n ≥ 0 using mathematical induction. Suppose we are trying to prove the k + 1 case, P(k+ 1), using strong mathematical induction. What are we allowed to do which we wouldn't do if we had been using weak mathematical induction? We are able to prove P(x + 1) as an inequality instead of just an equality. We do not need to make an assumption about the lower bound for k (for example, we do not need to assume that k > 0). We can prove that P(k+1)→ P(k+ 2) instead of P(k) → P(k+ 1). We can use the fact that P(k-1) is true, for as long as (k − 1) > 0.
