Detailed Solution
For n=2,P(2):(1+x)2=1+2x+x2>1+2x as x≠0Assume that P(k):(1+x)k>1+kxFor some k∈N,k>1As x>−1 multiplying both the sides of (1) by we 1 + x, get(1+x)k+1>(1+kx)(1+x)=1+(k+1)x+kx2>1+(k+1)x ∵ kx2>0Thus , P(k + 1) is true.By the principle of mathematical induction P(n) is true for all n>1 provided x≠0
