⚠️ Retired — specification defect

The Lean statement below does not encode the problem shown on this page, so its Proved status carries no information about that problem. Do not import this node or use it as a dependency.

Let $n$ is positive integer such that $n \ge 2$ , prove that: $\left( {\frac{{n^2 - 1}}{{n^2 }}} \right)^{2n} .\left( {\frac{{n + 1}}{{n - 1}}} \right) < 1$

Why this node was retired

The posted statement is

theorem lean_workbook_plus_76494 (n : ℕ) (hn : 2 ≤ n) : ((n^2 - 1)/(n^2))^(2*n) * ((n + 1)/(n - 1)) < 1   :=  by sorry

Natural division makes the first factor0, so the bound does not certify the genuine real expression.

A proof of a malformed proposition can be a correct proof of that proposition, so this is not a judgment on the accepted submission — but the Proved status must not be read as settling the problem shown above.

Proposed corrected statement

Cast n intoℝ before every subtraction and quotient, retain n≥2, and prove the displayed strict inequality. Source task: Let $n$ is positive integer such that $n \ge 2$ , prove that: $\left( {\frac{{n^2 - 1}}{{n^2 }}} \right)^{2n} .\left( {\frac{{n + 1}}{{n - 1}}} \right) < 1$
