hi guys
i have a problem with the symbolic math toolbox.

I have a function
a=inline('(n+1)/n');
I want to prove that a (n)> a (n +1)
but this can not be calculated with the symbolic math toolbox.
how can I do?????
thanks
Flo

How about:
(n+1)/n > (n+2)/(n+1)
(n+1)^2/n > (n+2)
(n+1)^2 > n*(n+2)
n^2 + 2*n + 1 > n^2 + 2*n
1 > 0
q.e.d.
In the above steps, I assumed n>0 for simplicity. I don't know which
conditions you have on n.

thanks thomas for your answer...
the problem is that i have more functions inline;

M=menu('Scegliere una serie','z^k','z^k/k','z^k/k!',...
'z^n/2^2n','(z+1)^n/(n*2^n)','(z-2)^n/(n^2*2^2n)','(1+ni)z^n',...
'log(n)^2*z^n','5^n*z^3n/2n*(2n+2)');
%Definisco i coefficienti
switch M
case 1 %serie Geometrica
a=inline(sym(1));
%La serie geometrica ha coefficiente = 1
x=0;
%Ci serve per calcolare la somma dei termini della serie
an=z^n;
%Termine generale della serie
case 2 %Serie Armonica
a=inline('(n+1)/n');
x=1;
an=(z^n)/n;
case 3 %Serie Esponenziale
a=inline('1/gamma(n+1)');
x=0;
an=(z^n)/gamma(n+1);
case 4
a=inline('1/4^n');
x=0;
an=(z^n)/(4^n);

I do not want to do these calculations manually...there is no function that allows me to avoid these calculations?

That I don't know. I only considered your first quite simple example,
sorry.
