I have a question relating to image that I've attached. It is a proof that the sequence is increasing. I don't understand the logic behind the third equation $$frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}>left (1-frac{1}{n+1}right ) left (frac{n+1}{n}right)$$



where does the equation in the first and second parenthesis come from?



Ok, I have another relating question:



why $frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}> (1+frac{1}{n})$ ? ( The expression of third line).

          From Bernoulli's inequality, we have



          $$left( 1- frac{1}{(n+1)^2}right) > 1+(n+1) left(frac{-1}{(n+1)^2} right)=1-frac1{n+1}$$



          Hence,



          $$frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}>left( 1- frac{1}{(n+1)^2}right)left( frac{n+1}{n}right)>left(1-frac1{n+1} right)left( frac{n+1}{n}right)$$

            It is putting together the result from the first red box with the second one:




            • $frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} = color{blue}{left(1- frac{1}{(n+1)^2} right)^{n+1}}left( frac{n+1}{n}right)$

            • $color{blue}{left(1- frac{1}{(n+1)^2} right)^{n+1}} > color{green}{1 + (n+1)left( frac{-1}{(n+1)^2}right)}$


            $$Rightarrow frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} > left(color{green}{1 + (n+1)left( frac{-1}{(n+1)^2}right)}right)left( frac{n+1}{n}right) = left(underbrace{1- frac{1}{n+1}}_{=frac{n}{n+1}}right)left( frac{n+1}{n}right)$$

              $begingroup$

              So, we have
              $$frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} = left(1 - frac{1}{(n+1)^2}right)^{n+1}left(frac{n+1}{n}right).$$
              The author then applies Bernoulli's inequality to the first term on the RHS:
              $$left(1 - frac{1}{(n+1)^2}right)^{n+1} > 1 + (n+1)left(frac{-1}{(n+1)^2}right) = 1 - frac{1}{n+1}.$$
              We can now return to the first equation and utilize this estimate; namely, we have
              $$frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} = left(1 - frac{1}{(n+1)^2}right)^{n+1}left(frac{n+1}{n}right) > left(1-frac{1}{n+1}right)left(frac{n+1}{n}right).$$
              Finally, we multiply out the RHS of the inequality
              $$frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} > left(1-frac{1}{n+1}right)left(frac{n+1}{n}right) = frac{n+1}{n} - frac{1}{n} = 1.$$
              So, we have
              $$frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} > 1 implies a_{n+1} > a_n,$$
              which means that ${a_n}$ is an increasing sequence.

                                $$left(1 - frac{1}{(n+1)^2}right)^{n+1} > 1 + (n+1)left(frac{-1}{(n+1)^2}right) = 1 - frac{1}{n+1}.$$
                                We can now return to the first equation and utilize this estimate; namely, we have
                                $$frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} = left(1 - frac{1}{(n+1)^2}right)^{n+1}left(frac{n+1}{n}right) > left(1-frac{1}{n+1}right)left(frac{n+1}{n}right).$$
                                Finally, we multiply out the RHS of the inequality
                                $$frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} > left(1-frac{1}{n+1}right)left(frac{n+1}{n}right) = frac{n+1}{n} - frac{1}{n} = 1.$$
                                So, we have
                                $$frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n} > 1 implies a_{n+1} > a_n,$$
                                which means that ${a_n}$ is an increasing sequence.
