Within the confines of the O-level syllabus, prove that:
$$1+dfrac{1}{8n}sqrt{pi_1n}<dfrac{2.4.6ldots(2n-2)(2n)}{1.3.5ldots(2n-3)(2n-1)}<left(1+dfrac{1}{8n}+dfrac{1}{128n^{2}}right)sqrt{pi_2n}$$
for all positive integer $n$, where $pi_1=3.141$ and $pi_2=3.142$
Using A-level mathematics, show that the result remains true with $pi_1=pi_2=pi$ where $pi$ is the familiar constant associated with a circle.
This is a question found in Hammersley's "On the enfeeblement of mathematical skills by "Modern Mathematics" and by similar soft intellectual trash in schools and universities"
When I first look at this problem, I wonder if I can prove it via Wallis'product?

$$
dfrac{2.4.6ldots(2n-2)(2n)}{1.3.5ldots(2n-3)(2n-1)} = dfrac{2n!}{(2n-1)!} = 2n \ therefore ;; 1+dfrac{1}{8n}sqrt{pi_1n}<dfrac{2.4.6ldots(2n-2)(2n)}{1.3.5ldots(2n-3)(2n-1)}<left(1+dfrac{1}{8n}+dfrac{1}{128n^{2}}right)sqrt{pi_2n}
\ = 1+dfrac{1}{8n}sqrt{pi_1n}<2n<left(1+dfrac{1}{8n}+dfrac{1}{128n^{2}}right)sqrt{pi_2n}
$$
Considering the case of $$pi_1 = pi_2 = pi$$ since this generality can be used for the other case too.
Splitting the inequalities into two,
begin{align}
I_1:
1+dfrac{1}{8n}sqrt{pi n}<2n \
1+dfrac{1}{8sqrt n}sqrt{pi}<2n \
dfrac{1}{8sqrt n}sqrt{pi}<2n - 1 \
dfrac{1}{8}sqrt{pi}<(2n - 1)cdotsqrt n tag{1}label{1}
end{align}
Since n is a positive integer, minimum value of n is 1, which when substituted in eqref{1} gives $$ 0.2215 < 1 $$ which is true.
begin{align}
I_2:
2n<left(1+dfrac{1}{8n}+dfrac{1}{128n^{2}}right)sqrt{pi n}\
dfrac{2n}{sqrt{pi n}}<left(1+dfrac{1}{8n}+dfrac{1}{128n^{2}}right) \
dfrac{2n}{sqrt{pi n}} - 1<left(dfrac{1}{8n}+dfrac{1}{128n^{2}}right) \
dfrac{2n}{sqrt{pi n}} - 1<dfrac{1}{8n}left(1+dfrac{1}{16n}right)\
dfrac{2n}{sqrt{pi n}} - 1<dfrac{1}{8n}left(dfrac{16n+1}{16n}right)\
(128n^{2})cdotdfrac{2sqrt n}{sqrt{pi}} - 1< 16n+1\
dfrac{256n^{frac{5}{2}}}{sqrt pi} - 128n^{2}<16n+1\
dfrac{256}{sqrt pi} < ( 128n^2 + 16n + 1 )cdot n^{frac{2}{5}} tag{2}label{2}
end{align}
Since n is a positive integer, minimum value of n is 1, which when substituted in eqref{2} gives $$ 144.43 < 145 $$ which is true.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
This [ $dfrac{2.4.6ldots(2n-2)(2n)}{1.3.5ldots(2n-3)(2n-1)} = dfrac{2n!}{(2n-1)!} = 2n$ ] is completely false (the numerator is the product of just even numbers up to $2n$ and not all the numbers as you assume). For example for $n=2$ we have $frac{2cdot 4}{1cdot 3} = frac{8}{3}$ which is not equal to $2n = 4$.

dfrac{2n}{sqrt{pi n}} - 1<left(dfrac{1}{8n}+dfrac{1}{128n^{2}}right) \
dfrac{2n}{sqrt{pi n}} - 1<dfrac{1}{8n}left(1+dfrac{1}{16n}right)\
dfrac{2n}{sqrt{pi n}} - 1<dfrac{1}{8n}left(dfrac{16n+1}{16n}right)\
(128n^{2})cdotdfrac{2sqrt n}{sqrt{pi}} - 1< 16n+1\
dfrac{256n^{frac{5}{2}}}{sqrt pi} - 128n^{2}<16n+1\
dfrac{256}{sqrt pi} < ( 128n^2 + 16n + 1 )cdot n^{frac{2}{5}} tag{2}label{2}
end{align}
Since n is a positive integer, minimum value of n is 1, which when substituted in eqref{2} gives $$ 144.43 < 145 $$ which is true.

This [ $dfrac{2.4.6ldots(2n-2)(2n)}{1.3.5ldots(2n-3)(2n-1)} = dfrac{2n!}{(2n-1)!} = 2n$ ] is completely false (the numerator is the product of just even numbers up to $2n$ and not all the numbers as you assume). For example for $n=2$ we have $frac{2cdot 4}{1cdot 3} = frac{8}{3}$ which is not equal to $2n = 4$.

@Winther Oh right, I assumed it as n in my head, ugh all that work gone in trash.

I doubt whether Wallis's product has ever featured in an A-level (let alone O-level) syllabus.

Thanks, I am not familiar with British school curriculum. The author is an Englishman anyway.

You wrote "where $pi_1=3.141$ and $pi_1=3.142$". Did you mean the second variable to be $pi_2$?

$begingroup$
I don't understand your quesion. $pi_2$ is the second number. Both $pi_1$ and $pi_2$ are numbers that sandwich $pi$.
