a. Prove by induction that, for every natural integer $n$, we have: $$u_n \geqslant n + 1.$$ b. Deduce the limit of the sequence $(u_n)$.
We consider the sequence $(v_n)$ defined for every natural integer $n$ by: $$v_n = u_n - n - 1$$ a. Prove that the sequence $(v_n)$ is geometric. Give its common ratio and its first term $v_0$. b.
