Give an example of a statement P(n) which it true for all n ≥ 4 but P(1), P(2) and P(3) are not true. Justify your answer.
Given; P(n) which it true for all n ≥ 4 but P(1), P(2) and P(3) are not true
Let P(n) be 2n < n!
This statement is true for all n ≥ 4 but P(1), P(2) and P(3) are not true.
i.e P(0) ⇒ 20 < 0! i.e 1 < 1 Which is not true
P(1) ⇒ 21 < 1! i.e 2 < 1 Which is not true
P(2) ⇒ 22 < 2! i.e 4 < 2 Which is not true
P(3) ⇒ 23 < 3! i.e 8 < 6 Which is not true
P(4) ⇒ 24 < 4! i.e 16 < 24 Which is true
P(5) ⇒ 25 < 5! i.e 32 < 60 Which is true
And so on.
