How do I show that this function is monotonically decreasing?

122 Views Asked by At

I'd like to show that the following function is monotonically decreasing (from plotting it is obvious that it is):

$$f(n)=\frac{c\,(n^2-n)\, {}_2F_1(1,\, 2-n;\, n^2-2n+3;\, c)}{n^2-2n+2}$$

with domain the integers greater than 3 and with $0<c<1$. Mathematica gives me the derivative, but the expression looks rather complicated (again involving the hypergeometric function), and I can't tell what its sign is.

Can someone tell me how to proceed in this case?
