Question Number 6028 by FilupSmith last updated on 10/Jun/16

Can you please show me how to solve:  L=lim_(n→∞)  (x^n /(n!))

$$\mathrm{Can}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{please}\:\mathrm{show}\:\mathrm{me}\:\mathrm{how}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{solve}: \\ $$$${L}=\underset{{n}\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\:\frac{{x}^{{n}} }{{n}!} \\ $$

Assume x>0.  n!≈(√(π(2n+(1/3))))n^n e^(−n)  for large n.  ∴ For large n,   (x^n /(n!))≈(((ex)^n )/((√(π(2n+(1/3))))n^n ))  (x^n /(n!))≈(1/(√(π(2n+(1/3)))))(((ex)/n))^n

$${Assume}\:{x}>\mathrm{0}. \\ $$$${n}!\approx\sqrt{\pi\left(\mathrm{2}{n}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)}{n}^{{n}} {e}^{−{n}} \:{for}\:{large}\:{n}. \\ $$$$\therefore\:{For}\:{large}\:{n},\: \\ $$$$\frac{{x}^{{n}} }{{n}!}\approx\frac{\left({ex}\right)^{{n}} }{\sqrt{\pi\left(\mathrm{2}{n}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)}{n}^{{n}} } \\ $$$$\frac{{x}^{{n}} }{{n}!}\approx\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\sqrt{\pi\left(\mathrm{2}{n}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)}}\left(\frac{{ex}}{{n}}\right)^{{n}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

Let u=(1/n)  ∴(x^n /(n!))≈(((exu)^(1/u) )/(√(π((2/u)+(1/3)))))    u→0 as n→∞  lim_(n→∞) (x^n /(n!))≈lim_(u→0) (((exu)^(1/u) (3u)^(0.5) )/(√(π(6+u))))  lim_(n→∞) (x^n /(n!))≈lim_(u→0) (((ex)^(1/u) u^((1/u)+0.5) (√3))/(√(π(u+6))))

$${Let}\:{u}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{n}} \\ $$$$\therefore\frac{{x}^{{n}} }{{n}!}\approx\frac{\left({exu}\right)^{\mathrm{1}/{u}} }{\sqrt{\pi\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{{u}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)}}\:\:\:\:{u}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}\:{as}\:{n}\rightarrow\infty \\ $$$$\underset{{n}\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{{x}^{{n}} }{{n}!}\approx\underset{{u}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\left({exu}\right)^{\mathrm{1}/{u}} \left(\mathrm{3}{u}\right)^{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}} }{\sqrt{\pi\left(\mathrm{6}+{u}\right)}} \\ $$$$\underset{{n}\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{{x}^{{n}} }{{n}!}\approx\underset{{u}\rightarrow\mathrm{0}} {\mathrm{lim}}\frac{\left({ex}\right)^{\mathrm{1}/{u}} {u}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{u}}+\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5}} \sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\sqrt{\pi\left({u}+\mathrm{6}\right)}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$ \\ $$
