Bernoulli's inequality can be proved for case 2, in which is a non-negative integer and , using mathematical induction in the following form: we prove the inequality for r ∈ { 0 , 1 } {\displaystyle r\in \{0,1\}} ,
The bounds these inequalities give on a finite sample are less tight than those the Chebyshev inequality gives for a distribution. To illustrate this let the sample size N = 100 and let k = 3. Chebyshev's inequality states that at most approximately 11.11% of the distribution will lie at least three standard deviations away from the mean.

The exponential function is convex, so by Jensen's inequality (). It follows that the bound on the right tail is greater or equal to one when a ≤ E ( X ) {\displaystyle a\leq \operatorname {E} (X)} , and therefore trivial; similarly, the left bound is trivial for a ≥ E ( X ) {\displaystyle a\geq \operatorname {E} (X)} .
Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. In mathematics, the exponential function is the unique real function which maps zero to one and has a derivative equal to its value. . The exponential of a variable is denoted or , with the two notations used interchangeab
In mathematics, the Lebedev–Milin inequality is any of several inequalities for the coefficients of the exponential of a power series, found by Lebedev and Milin and Isaak Moiseevich Milin . It was used in the proof of the Bieberbach conjecture , as it shows that the Milin conjecture implies the Robertson conjecture .
A complex-analysis version of this method [4] is to consider ! as a Taylor coefficient of the exponential function = =!, computed by Cauchy's integral formula as ! = | | = +. This line integral can then be approximated using the saddle-point method with an appropriate choice of contour radius r = r n {\displaystyle r=r_{n}} .
Euler wrote the first proof of the fact that e is irrational in 1737 (but the text was only published seven years later). [1] [2] [3] He computed the representation of e as a simple continued fraction, which is
