Description

@zteitler

You've probably already seen that, with small values of <m>n</m>, sometimes <m>n^2</m> and sometimes <m>2^n</m> is bigger. But if you keep experimenting one of the functions seems to get bigger and stay bigger than the other. The number <m>n=b</m> where this change occurs is a good choice for a base case. So as not to spoil the problem for you, we won't say here what this value of <m>b</m> is. However you shouldn't be surprised later in the proof if you need to use the assumption that <m>n /gt b</m>.

Typo at the end of the line: <m>n /gt b</m> should be <m>n \gt b</m>
