monotonicity of the sequence (1+x/n)n


Theorem 1.

Let x be a real number and let n be an integer such thatn>0 and n+x>0. Then

(n+xn)n<(n+1+xn+1)n+1.
Proof.

We begin by dividing the two expressions to be compared:

(n+x+1n+1)n+1(n+xn)n=n+x+1n+1(n(n+x+1)(n+x)(n+1))n
=n+x+1n+1(n2+nx+nn2+nx+n+x)n
=n+x+1n+1(1-xn2+nx+n+x)n

Now, when x>0, we have

0<xn2+nx+n+x<1

whilst, when x<0 and n+x>0, we have,

xn2+nx+n+x<0.

Therefore, we may apply an inequality for differences of powers to conclude

(1-xn2+nx+n+x)n>1-nxn2+nx+n+x
=n2+n+xn2+nx+n+x

Hence, we have

(n+x+1n+1)n+1(n+xn)n>(n+x+1)(n2+n+x)(n+1)(n2+nx+n+x)
=n3+2n2+n+n2x+2nx+x+x2n3+2n2+n+n2x+2nx+x

Note that the numerator is greater than the denominator becauseit contains every term contained in the denominator and an extraterm x2. Hence this ratio is larger than 1; multiplying out,we obtain the inequalityMathworldPlanetmath which was to be demonstrated.∎
