pls help with this...

OpenStudy (tiffanymak1996):

\[\lim_{n \rightarrow + \infty} \frac{ n \times \ln n}{ (n+1)\times \ln (n+1) }\]

OpenStudy (tiffanymak1996):

can i use l'hospital rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\begin{align}&\lim_{n \rightarrow + \infty} \frac{ n \times \ln n}{ (n+1)\times \ln (n+1) }=\\ &\lim_{n\rightarrow + \infty} \frac{n}{n+1}\times \lim_{n\rightarrow + \infty}\frac{\ln n}{\ln(n+1)}=\\ &1\times 1=\\ &1 \end{align}

OpenStudy (tiffanymak1996):

so, l'hospital rule?

hartnn (hartnn):

how did u get 2nd limit as 1??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, that's just using the product rule. L'hospital's rule would be to differentiate the top and bottom...which you don't really want to do.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As n gets very large, \(\ln n\) gets very close to \(\ln(n+1)\).

hartnn (hartnn):

thats logic,but how will u prove that mathematically?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, I stand corrected, you do prove that part with L'hospital's rule: \(\displaystyle\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \frac{\ln n }{\ln(n+1)} = \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \frac{\frac{1}{n}}{\frac{1}{n+1}}=\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\frac{n+1}{n}=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{1}{1}=1\)

:)

hartnn (hartnn):

there u go,thanks :)
