Prove that $2^{n}≤n!,\forall n\in\mathbb N$ using mathematical induction

98 Views Asked by At

I want to show that $2^{k-1}\leq k!\hspace{0.2cm} $ $\forall \hspace{0.2cm} k \in \mathbb{N}$.

I tried this:

For $n=1$, $2^{0}=1=1!$, the equality holds. Suppose that holds for n, then

$2^{k}\leq(k+1)!$
$2^k\cdot2=2^{k+1}\leq(k+1)!\cdot2\leq(k+2)!$

So, the inequality holds for every $n \in \mathbb{N}$.

Is this right?
