Simplifying factorials, limits.

OpenStudy (zenmo):

\[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\left| \frac{ (2n)! }{ (2n+2)! } \right|\]

OpenStudy (zenmo):

How do you get 0?

OpenStudy (loser66):

(2n+2)! = (2n+2)(2n+2)2n!

OpenStudy (zenmo):

Isn't (2n+2)! = (2n+2)(2n+1)2n! ?

OpenStudy (loser66):

cancel 2n! with the numerator, you get \(lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{1}{4n^2+8n+2}\)

OpenStudy (zenmo):

how does (2n+2)! = (2n+2) (2n+2) 2n! ?

OpenStudy (loser66):

oh, my bad, (2n+2)(2n+1) 2n!

OpenStudy (zenmo):

Ah, I see. if it was (2n-2)! instead of (2n+2)!, it would be (2n-2)(2n-1)2n! ?

OpenStudy (zenmo):

Just to check my factorial understanding.

OpenStudy (loser66):

Yes, you are correct \(\dfrac{2n!}{(2n+2)(2n+1)2n!}=\dfrac{1}{(2n+2)(2n+1)}\)

OpenStudy (zenmo):

Okay thanks :) I got it now.
