The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to establish a relationship between \( P_n \) (the product of the first \( n \) natural numbers) and \( n \). We will use the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean (AM-GM) inequality for this purpose. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define \( P_n \)**: \[ P_n = 1 \times 2 \times 3 \times \ldots \times n \] This is the product of the first \( n \) natural numbers. 2. **Apply the AM-GM Inequality**: According to the AM-GM inequality, for any set of positive numbers, the arithmetic mean is greater than or equal to the geometric mean. Therefore, we can write: \[ \frac{1 + 2 + 3 + \ldots + n}{n} \geq \sqrt[n]{P_n} \] 3. **Calculate the Arithmetic Mean**: The sum of the first \( n \) natural numbers is given by: \[ 1 + 2 + 3 + \ldots + n = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2} \] Thus, the arithmetic mean becomes: \[ \frac{1 + 2 + 3 + \ldots + n}{n} = \frac{\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}}{n} = \frac{n + 1}{2} \] 4. **Substitute into the AM-GM Inequality**: Now substituting the arithmetic mean back into the inequality, we have: \[ \frac{n + 1}{2} \geq \sqrt[n]{P_n} \] 5. **Raise Both Sides to the Power of \( n \)**: To eliminate the root, we raise both sides to the power of \( n \): \[ \left(\frac{n + 1}{2}\right)^n \geq P_n \] 6. **Rearranging the Inequality**: This can be rearranged to show: \[ P_n \leq \left(\frac{n + 1}{2}\right)^n \] ### Conclusion: Thus, we have established that for all \( n \in \mathbb{N} \): \[ P_n \leq \left(\frac{n + 1}{2}\right)^n \]
