Prove by induction the inequality `(1+x)^ngeq 1+n x` whenever `x` is positive and `n` is a positive integer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let p(n) be the statement given by
`P(n)=(2+x)^n≥1+nx`
For` n=1,P(1)=(1+x)^1≥1+x`
`1+x=1+x`
∴P(1)is true.
let us assume that , P(k) is true for some natural number k.
Then `P(k)=(1+x)^k≥1+kx`
