To show this inequality, we start by considering the definition of :
The problem gives us the inequality for any positive real number and non-negative integer . Taking the reciprocal and considering the exponential function in the integrand:
Substituting this into the integral, we obtain:
The integral converges when . Evaluating this integral:
This problem requires us to calculate two integrals: one involving and another involving . We are also given the hint that the following relation holds:
Step 1: Expressing the Second-Order Derivative of
From Question 3, we know that:
Setting :
This integral represents the first term in , which is:
The function is a probability density function corresponding to a Rayleigh distribution, with the parameter . The Rayleigh distribution has the form:
which is commonly used to describe the distribution of the magnitude of a two-dimensional vector with independent and identically distributed normal components.
