Prove using induction that $n^6 18$

Prove using induction (or using any other elementary precalculus techniques) that $$n^6 < 3^n, forall n geq 19.$$




I have no idea how to do this. Writing the induction step, I get that I need to prove that $$3n^6 > (n+1)^6,$$ and I don't know how to do so.



I want a proof that doesn't use calculus techniques.

    what do you mean by 'calculus techniques'? is induction allowed?

Use that



$$3^{n+1}=3cdot 3^nstackrel{Ind. Hyp.}>3cdot n^6 stackrel{?}>(n+1)^6$$



and



$$3cdot n^6 >(n+1)^6 iff frac{n+1}{n}<sqrt[6] 3 iff n>frac1{sqrt[6] 3-1}approx 4.98$$

    If $nge 19$,



    $$(n+1)^6=n^6left(1+frac1nright)^6le3^ncdot left(1+frac1{19}right)^6<3^ncdot1.1^6$$
