Problem 1
Strictly Increasing:
We need to establish if it's monotone, and what kind (is it strictly increasing, strictly decreasing, non-increasing, non-decreasing, what?). Given the problem, we'll assume strictly increasing.
First, we should prove the base case. This means proving that 1.2em a1 < a2.
Next, we should prove that this works for any number n
You're done! Everything checks out and is valid.
General
For problem 2, we see that supx_n =1 since n/(n+1) gets close to 1.
