3.3-6 p(n) = 1/1*2 + 1/2*3 +...*1/n*(n+1) = n/n+1 p(1)=1/2 p(k+1) = k+1/k+2 p(k+1) = k/k+1 + 1/(k+1)(k+2) = k+1/k n=5  2^5 = 32 > 5^2=25 Assume that 2^k > k^2 and want to derive the statement that 2^(k+1) > (k+1)^2 (k+1)^2 = k^2 +2k + 1 < k^2 +2k + k = k^2 +3k < k^2 +k^2. Thus (k+1)^2 = 2k^2 < 2*2^k p(n)=1*2 + 2* n(n+1) = n(n+1)(n+2)/3 p(1) = 2=2 p(k+1) = {1*2 + 2* k(k+1)}+(k+1)(k+2) = (k+1)(k+2)(k+3)/3 p(k+1) = k(k+1)(k+2)/3 + (k+1)(k+2) = (k+1)(k+2)(k+3)/3
