hi guys, i have this question i have to prove, and i'me stuck. if someone could help.
thank you so much.

for 2<=n prove that:

[FONT=&quot]1 (1·3·5...(2n-1) )² 1

———< ——————–———< ———
4n+1 ( 2·4·6...(2n) ) ² 3n+1

What does this even mean? Could you write it out on paper and post it as an attachment?

Addendum. Did you mean \(\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{4n + 1} < \dfrac{ \left ( (1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdot \text{ ... } (2n - 1) \right ) ^2}{ \left ( 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 6 \text{ ... } (2n) \right )^2 } < \dfrac{1}{3n + 1}\)

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{4 * 1 + 1} = \dfrac{1}{5}. \text { And } \left ( \dfrac{1}{2} \right )^2 = \dfrac{1}{4}. \text { And } \dfrac{1}{3 * 1 + 1} = \dfrac{1}{4}.\)

So the given inequality is not true for n = 1. Possibly the problem said n > 1.

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{4 * 2 + 1} = \dfrac{1}{9} = \dfrac{448}{4032}. \text { And } \left ( \dfrac{1 * 3}{2 * 4} \right )^2 = \dfrac{9}{64} = \dfrac{567}{4032}.\)

\(\displaystyle \text { And } \dfrac{1}{3 * 2 + 1} = \dfrac{1}{7} = \dfrac{576}{4032}.\)

So it is true for n = 2.

So the first thing I would do if I wanted to try a proof by induction is to restate the problem.

\(\displaystyle n \in \mathbb Z^+ \implies \dfrac{1}{4n + 1} < \displaystyle \left \{ \left ( \prod_{j=1}^n 2j - 1 \right ) \div \left ( \prod_{j=1}^n 2j \right ) \right \}^2 \le \dfrac{1}{3n + 1}.\)

We know that is true if n = 1. Therefore

\(\displaystyle \exists \text { non-empty set } \mathbb S \text { such that } k \in \mathbb S \implies k \in \mathbb Z^+ \text { and}\)

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{4k + 1} < \displaystyle \left \{ \left ( \prod_{j=1}^k 2j - 1 \right ) \div \left ( \prod_{j=1}^k 2j \right ) \right \}^2 \le \dfrac{1}{3k + 1}.\)

Now what I would try to show is

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{4(k + 1) + 1} < \displaystyle \left \{ \left ( \prod_{j=1}^{k+1} 2j - 1 \right ) \div \left ( \prod_{j=1}^{k+1} 2j \right ) \right \}^2 < \dfrac{1}{3(k + 1) +1}.\)

If I could do that, I would prove the given theorem because \(\displaystyle < \implies \le\) and have the basis for the more restrictive theorem for n > 1.

EDIT: An alternate approach, still by induction, is to prove:

\(\displaystyle n \in \mathbb Z^+ \implies \dfrac{1}{4n + 5} < \displaystyle \left \{ \left ( \prod_{j=1}^{n+1} 2(j - 1) \right ) \div \left ( \prod_{j=1}^{n+1} 2j \right ) \right \}^2 < \dfrac{1}{3n + 4}.\)

Look at this alternative equivalent double inequality:



\(\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{4n + 1}} \ < \ \dfrac{ 1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdot \ ... \ \cdot (2n - 1)} { 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 6 \cdot \ ... \ \cdot (2n) } \ < \ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3n + 1}} \ , \ \ \ for \ \ n \ \ge \ 2.\)
