Restating the problem merely requires us to ask the question: Does a prime of form 2x-q lie in the interval [x, 2x]? We begin by introducing the product, m, of numbers of the form 2x-q. Using the geometric series, an upper bound is estimated for the function m. Next, we prove a theorem that states every even number, 2x, that violates Goldbach’s Conjecture must satisfy an inequality involving a simple multiplicative function defined as the product, ρ(m), of the distinct prime divisors of m. A proof of the Goldbach Conjecture is then evident by contradiction as a corollary to the proof of the inequality.geometric seriesGoldbach’s Conjecturemathematical inductionmultiplicative functions
