calculus - How can I calculate the limit of exponential divided by factorial?





I suspect this limit is 0, but how can I prove it?



lim


Answer



The easiest way to do this is to do the following: Assume n \ge 4. Then 0 \le \frac{2^n}{n!} = \prod_{i=1}^n \frac{2}{i} = \frac{2\cdot 2\cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3} \cdot \prod_{i=4}^n \frac{2}{i} \le \frac{8}{6} \cdot \prod_{i=1}^n \frac{2}{4} = \frac{8}{6 \cdot 2^{n-3}}. Applying the squeeze theorem gives the result.
