Please note n's are superscripted.

(a) Use mathematical induction to prove that 2n+1 + 3n+1 ≤ 2 · 4n for all integers n ≥ 3.

(b) Let f(n) = 2n+1 + 3n+1 and g(n) = 4n. Using the inequality from part (a) prove that f(n) = O(g(n)). You need to give a rigorous proof derived directly from the definition of O-notation, without using any theorems from class.

(First, give a complete statement of the definition. Next, show how f(n) = O(g(n)) follows from this definition.)
