\[\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\sqrt[n]{n!}}{n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe like this: \[\sqrt[n]{n!}=\sqrt[n]{n(n-1)(n-2)\cdots1} =\sqrt[n]{n}\sqrt[n]{n-1}\cdots \sqrt[n]{1}=1\] so limit is equal to 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@klimenkov

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

Are you sure that \[\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\sqrt[n]{n!}=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look the steps from my comment befor. It looks ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all the roots at the right hand side: \[\sqrt[n]{n}=\sqrt[n]{n-1}=\cdots=\sqrt[n]{1}=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so their product too

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

No, it's not ok. Because you multiply an infinite quantity or 1. As we know \(1^{\infty}={}?\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1^{\infty} =1*1*\cdots*1=1\]

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

Very nice. What can you say about this pretty limit? \[\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\left(1+\frac1n\right)^n\]It is \(1^{\infty}\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this happens when you talk about functions. The reason of indetermination of 1^infinity is because of that. But in this case there are no functions involved. That's my point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this case there is just number one multiplyed infinitly many times. And it happens after the limit was taken

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

Ok. What about this? \[\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\sum_{k=1}^n\frac1n\]Is it 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a harmonic series. It is not convergent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your 1º question was about sequences

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

Look at the denominator carefully please. I hopr you will try to get what I'm saying.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sry, but i don't

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

Can you find this? \[\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\sum_{k=1}^n\frac1n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

another way to try this: \[\lim \sqrt[n]{\frac{n!}{n^n}} = 0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

infinity

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

Can you show the way you solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't remmeber the formal proof of n!/n^n =0, but it's evident, if you try a few first terms of this sequence. There are some posts about it if you google a bit

OpenStudy (klimenkov):

@myko, see this and tell me what is your mistake? http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Limit+%28n!%29^%281%2Fn%29%2Fn+n-%3Einfinity

@mahmit2012 a little help here?
