Mathematical Induction Inequality is being used for proving inequalities. It is quite often applied for
the subtraction and/or greatness, using the assumption at the step 2. Lets take a look at the
following hand-picked examples.

LHS = 4k
= 4k1+1
= 4k1 4
> k2 4 by the assumption 4k1 > k2
= k2 + 2k2 + k2 2k2 > 2k and k2 > 1 for k 3
> k2 + 2k + 1
= (k + 1)2
= RHS
LHS > RHS
Therefore it is true for n = k + 1 assuming that it is true for n = k.
Therefore 4n1 > n2 is true for n 3.
