limits - How to find limntoinftyfrac(n!)1overnn?





How to find limn(n!)1nn ?
I tried taking using logarithm to bring the expression to sum form and then tried L Hospital's Rule.But its not working.Please help!



This is what wolfram alpha is showing,but its not providing the steps!



BTW if someone can tell me a method without using integration, I'd love to know!



Answer



Note



(n!)1/nn=[(10n)(11n)(12n)(1n1n)]1/n=exp{1nn1k=0log(1kn)}



and the last expression converges to



exp{10log(1x)dx}=exp(1)=1e.




Alternative: If you want to avoid integration, consider the fact that if {an} is a sequence of positive real numbers such that limnan+1an=L, then limna1/nn=L.



Now (n!)1/nn=a1/nn, where an=n!nn. So



an+1an=(n+1)!(n+1)n+1nnn!=n+1n+1nn(n+1)n=(nn+1)n=(11+1n)n=1(1+1n)n.



Since limn(1+1n)n=e, then limnan+1an=1e.



Therefore limn(n!)1/nn=1e.
