Using principle of mathematical induction prove that `sqrtn<1/sqrt1+1/sqrt2+1/sqrt3+......+1/sqrtn` for all natural numbers `n >= 2`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,
`sqrtn<1/sqrt1+1/sqrt2+1/sqrt3+......+1/sqrtn`
where p(k) is true
let p(k+1) is also true,
`=>sqrt(k+1)<1/sqrt1+1/sqrt2+1/sqrt3+......+1/(sqrtn(k+1))`
`=>sqrt(k+1)+1/(sqrt(k+1))<1/sqrt1+1/sqrt2+1/sqrt3+......+1/(sqrtn(k+1))+1/(sqrt(k))`
So,
`sqrt(k+1)<(sqrt(k)sqrt(k+1+1))/sqrt(k+1)`
