$(1+\frac{1}{n})^n<(1+\frac{1}{n+1})^{n+1}$

\begin{equation}\label{eq:1.11}
(1+\frac{1}{n})^n<(1+\frac{1}{n+1})^{n+1}
\end{equation}

证明:根据均值不等式,
\begin{align*}
(1+\frac{1}{n+1})^{n+1}&=(\underbrace{\frac{1}{n}+\frac{1}{n}+\cdots
+\frac{1}{n}}_{n\mbox{个}}+\frac{1}{n+1})^{n+1}\\&\geq
[(n+1)(\frac{1}{n})^{\frac{n}{n+1}} (\frac{1}{n+1})^{\frac{1}{n+1}}]^{n+1}\\&=(1+\frac{1}{n})^n
\end{align*}
因为$\frac{1}{n}\neq \frac{1}{n+1}$,因此等号取不到，即\ref{eq:1.11}成立.
