I know how to prove it for $n=2$ can I somehow inductively conclude the Statement $forall ninmathbb{N}$?



Because $forall c,b in[0,a]:L|c-b|geq |c^2-b^2|= |(c+b)(c-b)|iff Lgeq |c+b|iff Lgeq 2a $

          Yes, you can prove it by induction. If $n=1$, then it is true, because it is the identity function. And if $f_n$ is continuous, then $f_{n+1}$ is continuous too, because $f_{n+1}=f_ntimes f_1$ and the product of two continuous functions is again a continuous function.

            Using the binomial theorem yields:



            $$|(c+h)^n-c^n| le sum_{i=1}^n {n choose i} |c|^{n-i}|h|^i xrightarrow{h to 0}$$



            because $n in mathbb{N}$ is fixed. Hence $xmapsto x^n$ is continuous at $c$.

              For any $x,yin [0,a]$ we have
              begin{eqnarray}
              |x^n-y^n|&=&|x-y|sum_{k=0}^{n-1}x^{n-1-k}y^k\
              &le&|x-y|sum_{k=0}^{n-1}x^{n-1-k}y^k\
              &le&|x-y|sum_{k=0}^{n-1}a^{n-1}\
              &=&na^{n-1}|x-y|
              end{eqnarray}



              Hence $f_n$ is continuous.
