Thread: Recusive Definition

I am really confused on how to do recursive definitions. The question is:

n! >= 3^n for every Integer n >=7

The textbook I have really doesn't explain how to solve for it and I am hoping someone can explain how I prove for it. can someone please explain how you solve for these type of equations? Thanks!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that we are using Mathematical Induction.

Use induction with as a base case, then show that if for some :
