Define Even Integers Set: Let's define the set of even integers greater than 1. An even integer can be represented as 2n, where n is an integer. Since x is greater than 1, we start with n=1, which gives us the smallest even integer greater than 1 as 2(1)=2. Therefore, x can be represented as 2n for n≥1.
Establish Inequality x≥2: We need to find an inequality that is true for all values of x in the form of 2n, where n≥1. Since x is even and greater than 1, x will always be greater than or equal to 2. This can be written as x≥2.
Test Inequality for All Values: To check if our inequality x≥2 is true for all even integers greater than 1, we can test a few values. Let's test for n=1, which gives us x=2(1)=2. The inequality holds because 2≥2. Now let's test for n=2, which gives us x=2(2)=4. The inequality holds because 4≥2. We can see that for any n≥1, the inequality will hold because multiplying by 2 will always give us an even number greater than or equal to 2.
