real analysis - Prove that if limntoinftyxn=1 for xn>0 then limntoinftysqrt[n]x1x2cdotsxn=1




Given a sequence xn and the fact that:
limnxn=1xn>0nN


Prove
limnnx1x2xn=1




I'm having some difficulties finishing this proof. I've shown while solving another problem that:

limnxn=alimn1nnk=1xk=a



Using this we may state that:
limnxn=1limn1nnk=1xk=1



On the other hand by AM-GM we have that:

x1+x2+xnnnx1x2xn



Since xn>0:
x1+x2+xnnnx1x2xn0



We know that:

limnx1+x2+xnn=1



Therefore:
1limnnx1x2xn0



My idea was to use Monotone Convergence theorem, but since xn is only constrained by xn>0 we can not make any conclusions on the monotonicity of:

yn=nx1x2xn


(or can we?).



Apparently my idea to use MCT is not applicable here. So the question is what would be the proper way to prove the above?


Answer



Consider the logarithm and use Stolz cesaro to deduce that
limnlognx1xn=limn1nni=1logxi=limnlogxn=0


since xn1 from which the claim follows.
