\textbf{Given:}

\textsf{n>1 is a natural number and x > 0 is a real number}

\textbf{To prove:}

\mathsf{(1+x)^n\,>\,1+nx}

\textbf{Solution:}

\textsf{Consider,}

\mathsf{f(x)=(1+x)^n-1-n\,x}

\mathsf{f'(x)=n(1+x)^{n-1}-n}

\mathsf{For\,x\,>\,0,\;f'(x)\,>\,0}

\therefore\mathsf{f(x)\;is\;a\;strictly\;increasing\;function}

\mathsf{Since\;f(x)\;is\;a\;strictly\;function,}

\mathsf{x\,>\,0\;\;\implies\;f(x)\,>\,f(0)}

\implies\mathsf{(1+x)^n-1-nx\,>\,1-1}

\implies\mathsf{(1+x)^n-1-nx\,>\,0}

\implies\boxed{\mathsf{(1+x)^n\,>\,1+nx}}
