calculus - Compute limlimitsntoinftysqrt[n]logleft|1+left(frac1ncdotlognright)kright|.



Compute lim
What I have: \forall\ x\geq 0\ :\ x- \frac{x^2}{2}\leq \log(1+x)\leq x.

Apply to get that the limit equals 1 for any real number k.



Is this correct? Are there any other proofs?


Answer



Yes it works, here's another proof using a little more sofisticate tool (in this case unnecessary, but sometimes more useful).



By Stolz-Cesaro if (x_n) is a positive sequence and
\lim_n \dfrac{x_{n+1}}{x_n} = l
then
\lim_n \sqrt[n]{x_n} = l.




Taking as (x_n) the sequence you defined, an easy calculation shows that \dfrac{x_{n+1}}{x_n} \rightarrow 1,
therefore the thesis.
