just wanna say im pretty bad at math so I might be missing something.. I've been looking at this for the past hour trying to figure out how it makes any sense
(I'm slowly trying to fill in any lack of math fundementals)

It's just a statement. There are values of n that make it true and values of n that make it false. Just like x>4 is sometimes true and sometimes not.
In this case, the inequality boils down to 1/n^2 <1/n. When is that true?

The reason this is true is because
1/n^2 is smaller than 1/n
Because n^2 is larger than n for n > 1

I'll try my best to explain as I'm not from america

But you omitted to mention what n is

so the terminologies might be different
but its related to set theory and ordered sets

Is n an integer larger than 1?

im trying to proof that the rational number set is not a complete ordered set
this is the example
and im trying to proof this first case
sorry if it's confusing

Can you show all of your work for this question? The bits and pieces you've mentioned don't relate to one another.
