Have you checked that 3^{3^{3}}>79.(3^{3})^{2}?

Then, let n \geq 3^{3} be an integer, and assume that 3^{n}>79n^{2} (induction hypothesis)

79(n+1)^{2}=79n^{2}+79(2n)+79

Is it true that, if n\geq 3^{3}\, then \ 2n\leq n^{2} and 1\leq n^{2} ?

If it's the case, 79n^{2}+79(2n)+79 \leq 79n^{2}+79n^{2}+79n^{2}=3(79n^{2})

What can we conclude using the induction hypothesis?
