calculus - How do you prove xx+1>(x+1)x,x>c?



It is visible the left side is bigger simply because it's a higher power but calculating the first derivatives leads back to almost the same inequivalence. I tried to prove it with induction which also didn't quite lead anywhere. Any ideas?



Edit: c is some constant. If it's a problem, use c=3 (it's slightly less I believe but definitely >2).



Answer



If you mean to prove it for x>e, so prove that f(x)=lnxx is a decreasing function for x>e.
