The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine a function \( f: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N} \) such that \( f(n+1) > f(f(n)) \) for all \( n \in \mathbb{N} \). We will check the options provided to find the correct function. ### Step 1: Analyze the options We will check each option one by one to see if they satisfy the condition \( f(n+1) > f(f(n)) \). ### Step 2: Check Option A: \( f(n) = n^2 - n + 1 \) 1. **Calculate \( f(n+1) \)**: \[ f(n+1) = (n+1)^2 - (n+1) + 1 = n^2 + 2n + 1 - n - 1 + 1 = n^2 + n + 1 \] 2. **Calculate \( f(f(n)) \)**: \[ f(n) = n^2 - n + 1 \] Now, substituting \( f(n) \) into itself: \[ f(f(n)) = f(n^2 - n + 1) = (n^2 - n + 1)^2 - (n^2 - n + 1) + 1 \] Expanding this: \[ = n^4 - 2n^3 + 3n^2 - 2n + 1 \] 3. **Compare \( f(n+1) \) and \( f(f(n)) \)**: We need to check if \( n^2 + n + 1 > n^4 - 2n^3 + 3n^2 - 2n + 1 \). This inequality does not hold for large \( n \), so Option A is incorrect. ### Step 3: Check Option B: \( f(n) = n - 1 \) 1. **Calculate \( f(n+1) \)**: \[ f(n+1) = (n+1) - 1 = n \] 2. **Calculate \( f(f(n)) \)**: \[ f(n) = n - 1 \implies f(f(n)) = f(n - 1) = (n - 1) - 1 = n - 2 \] 3. **Compare \( f(n+1) \) and \( f(f(n)) \)**: We need to check if \( n > n - 2 \), which is always true for \( n \in \mathbb{N} \). Thus, Option B is correct. ### Step 4: Check Option C: \( f(n) = n^2 + 1 \) 1. **Calculate \( f(n+1) \)**: \[ f(n+1) = (n+1)^2 + 1 = n^2 + 2n + 1 + 1 = n^2 + 2n + 2 \] 2. **Calculate \( f(f(n)) \)**: \[ f(n) = n^2 + 1 \implies f(f(n)) = f(n^2 + 1) = (n^2 + 1)^2 + 1 = n^4 + 2n^2 + 1 + 1 = n^4 + 2n^2 + 2 \] 3. **Compare \( f(n+1) \) and \( f(f(n)) \)**: We need to check if \( n^2 + 2n + 2 > n^4 + 2n^2 + 2 \). This inequality does not hold for large \( n \), so Option C is incorrect. ### Conclusion The only option that satisfies the condition \( f(n+1) > f(f(n)) \) for all \( n \in \mathbb{N} \) is: **Option B: \( f(n) = n - 1 \)**.
