1. (本小题满分12分)
已知常数a > 0, n为正整数,f n ( x ) = x n – ( x + a)n ( x > 0 )是关于x的函数.
(1) 判定函数f n ( x )的单调性,并证明你的结论.
(2) 对任意n ³ a , 证明f `n + 1 ( n + 1 ) < ( n + 1 )fn`(n)
解: (1) fn `( x ) = nx n – 1 – n ( x + a)n – 1 = n [x n – 1 – ( x + a)n – 1 ] ,
∵a > 0 , x > 0, ∴ fn `( x ) < 0 , ∴ f n ( x )在(0,+∞)单调递减. 4分
(2)由上知:当x > a>0时, fn ( x ) = xn – ( x + a)n是关于x的减函数,
