The inequality −32an+31≤0 is algebraically equivalent to 31≤32an, which simplifies to 21≤an. Since the lower bound an≥21 was already proven by induction, the difference an+1−an is guaranteed to be non-positive.
Conditions: The expression for the difference is an+1−an=−32an+31.; The lower bound an≥21 has been established for all n≥1.
