$${sin}\left({n}\right)\leqslant\mathrm{1} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right){sin}\left({n}\right)\leqslant{n}+\mathrm{2} \\ $$ $${for}\:{n}=\mathrm{1}: \\ $$ $$\mathrm{2}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{4}>\mathrm{3}={n}+\mathrm{2} \\ $$ $${for}\:{n}={k}: \\ $$ $$\mathrm{2}^{{k}+\mathrm{1}} >{k}+\mathrm{2} \\ $$ $${for}\:{n}={k}+\mathrm{1}: \\ $$ $$\mathrm{2}^{\left({k}+\mathrm{1}\right)+\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{22}^{{k}+\mathrm{1}} >\mathrm{2}\left({k}+\mathrm{2}\right)=\mathrm{2}{k}+\mathrm{4} \\ $$ $${k}\geqslant\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}{k}+\mathrm{4}\geqslant{k}+\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{4}={k}+\mathrm{5}>\left({k}+\mathrm{1}\right)+\mathrm{2} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}^{\left({k}+\mathrm{1}\right)+\mathrm{1}} >\left({k}+\mathrm{1}\right)+\mathrm{2} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow{for}\:\forall{n}\in\mathbb{N},\:\mathrm{2}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} >{n}+\mathrm{2}\geqslant\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right){sin}\left({n}\right) \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow{n}=\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2},...\:,\:\mathrm{2}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} >\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right){sin}\left({n}\right) \\ $$ $${for}\:{n}=\mathrm{0}: \\ $$ $$\mathrm{2}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{2}>\mathrm{0}=\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right){sin}\left({n}\right) \\ $$ $$ \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} >\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right){sin}\left({n}\right),\:\forall{n}\in\mathbb{N}^{\mathrm{0}} \\ $$

recall: 1≥sin n for any n∈R (1+a)^n >1+na for a>0 2^(n+1) =(1+1)^(n+1) >1+(n+1)×1=n+2=(n+2)×1 ≥(n+2) sin n ⇒ 2^(n+1) >(n+2) sin n ✓

$${recall}: \\ $$ $$\mathrm{1}\geqslant\mathrm{sin}\:{n}\:{for}\:{any}\:{n}\in\mathbb{R} \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{1}+{a}\right)^{{n}} >\mathrm{1}+{na}\:{for}\:{a}>\mathrm{0} \\ $$ $$ \\ $$ $$\mathrm{2}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} =\left(\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} \\ $$ $$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:>\mathrm{1}+\left({n}+\mathrm{1}\right)×\mathrm{1}={n}+\mathrm{2}=\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right)×\mathrm{1} \\ $$ $$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\geqslant\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right)\:\mathrm{sin}\:{n} \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{2}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} >\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right)\:\mathrm{sin}\:{n}\:\checkmark \\ $$

It is worth noting that (n+2)≥(n+2)sin(n) is true for n≥−2

$${It}\:{is}\:{worth}\:{noting}\:{that} \\ $$ $$\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right)\geqslant\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right){sin}\left({n}\right) \\ $$ $${is}\:{true}\:{for}\:{n}\geqslant−\mathrm{2} \\ $$

i assumed n∈N what the questioner also meant, i think. if n∈Z, then 2^(n+1) >(n+2) sin n is true for n≥−6.

$${i}\:{assumed}\:{n}\in\mathbb{N}\:{what}\:{the}\:{questioner} \\ $$ $${also}\:{meant},\:{i}\:{think}. \\ $$ $${if}\:{n}\in\mathbb{Z},\:{then}\:\mathrm{2}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} >\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right)\:\mathrm{sin}\:{n}\:{is} \\ $$ $${true}\:{for}\:{n}\geqslant−\mathrm{6}. \\ $$
