Find $$\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{(n+1)^\sqrt{n+1}}{n^\sqrt{n}}$$
First I tried by taking $\ln y_n=\ln \frac{(n+1)^\sqrt{n+1}}{n^\sqrt{n}}=\sqrt{n+1}\ln(n+1)-\sqrt{n}\ln(n),$
which dose not seems to take me anywhere. Then I tried to use squeeze theorem, since $\frac{(n+1)^\sqrt{n+1}}{n^\sqrt{n}}\geq 1$, but I need an upper bound now. It's for a while I am trying to come up with it but stuck. Can you help me please.
Answer
Notice that for $f(x)=\sqrt x \ln x$ you have If we notice that $\lim\limits_{x\to\infty} f'(x) = 0$ we get that
$$f'(x)=\frac{\ln x}{2\sqrt x}-\frac1{\sqrt x}.$$
Now by mean value theorem
$$f(n+1)-f(n) = f'(\theta_n)$$
for some $\theta_n$ such that $n<\theta_n
$$\lim\limits_{n\to\infty} (\sqrt{n+1}\ln(n+1)-\sqrt{n}\ln n) = \lim\limits_{n\to\infty} f'(\theta_n) = 0.$$
