Mathematical Induction

The sequence of real numbers $a_1$, $a_2$, $a_3$...is such that $a_1$ $=$ $1$ and $a_{n+1} = (a_n + \frac{1}{a_n} )^{\lambda}$
,where $\lambda$ is a constant greater than 1.



Prove by mathematical induction that for n ≥ 2,
$a_n$ ≥ $2^{g(n)}$ where $g(n)=\lambda^{n-1}$



Prove also that for $n\ge 2$, $\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}>2^{(\lambda-1)g(n)}$



This question is really confusing me. I cant even prove the base case

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}...
