Question

[Choose the one correct answer and explain your reasoning.]

The inequality \[(n+1) + \bigl(n^4+2\bigr) + \bigl(n^9+3\bigr) + \bigl(n^{16}+4\bigr) + \cdots + \bigl(n^{10000}+100\bigr) > k\] is true for all \(n\ge 1\). It follows that

  1. \(k < 1300\),

  2. \(k^2<101\),

  3. \(k \ge 101^{10000}\),

  4. \(k < 5150\).
