    use proof by induction Day 1. Consider the inequality n 10000n. Assume the goal is to prove that inequality is true for all positive integers n. A common mistake is to think that checking the inequality for numerous cases is enough to prove that statement is true in every case. First, verify that the inequality holds for n-1,2,-.- ,10. Next, analyze the inequality; is there a positive integer n such that the inequality n 10000n is not true! Day 1....
