abstract algebra - Prove linear independence using mathematical induction

Given the following set of functions:
$1,\sin(x),\sin(2x),\sin(3x), \cdots, \sin(nx)$ (n is integer, n>0)
The thing to be done is to prove that the set of functions is linearly independent using mathematical induction.
I googled for common tasks, now it is clear that mathematical induction will work fine, but I have no idea of how to do it.
How to apply the method here?

real analysis - How to find $lim_{hrightarrow 0}frac{sin(ha)}{h}$

How to find $\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin(ha)}{h}$ without lhopital rule? I know when I use lhopital I easy get $$ \lim_{h\rightarrow 0}...
