##\left(1+\dfrac1n\right)^n=e^{n\ln\left(1+\dfrac1n\right)}## and using Taylor expansion ##\ln\left(1+\dfrac1n\right)=\dfrac 1n-\dfrac1{2n^2}+\dfrac1{3n^3}-\cdots## ##n\ln\left(1+\dfrac1n\right)=1-\dfrac 1{2n}+\dfrac1{3n^2}-\cdots## ##e^{n\ln(1+\frac1n)}=e.e^{-\frac1{2n}+\frac 1{3n^2}-...}##...

To use the formula above, I have to prove that $$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}f(x)=\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\left(\frac{1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+........\frac{1}{n}}{n^2}\right)=1$$ To prove so, I tried using L'Hopital's Rule: $$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}f(x)=\lim_{n\rightarrow...

I hope I can make this question clear enough. When we have a function such as f(x) = 1/x and calculate the side limits at x = 0, the right side goes to positive infinity. The left side goes to negative infinity. In calculus we are pluggin in values closer and closer to zero and seeing what the...

I have the following definition: $$ \lim_{x\to p^+}f(x)=+\infty\iff \forall\,\,\varepsilon>0,\,\exists\,\,\delta>0,\,\,\text{with}\,\,p+\delta< b: p< x < p+\delta \implies f(x) > \varepsilon$$ From this, how can I get the definition of $$\lim_{x\to p^-}=-\infty? $$

My attempt: \begin{align} \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \sqrt{n^2 + n} - n &= n\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{n}} -n\\ &=n - n\\ &= 0\\ \end{align} I think the issue is at (1)-(2) For comparison, here is Rudin's solution

I have already in a previous task shown that A is not irreducible and not regular, which I think is correct. I don't know if I can use that fact here in some way. I guess one way of solving this problem could be to find all eigenvalues, eigenvectors and diagonalize but that is a lot of work and...

I'm trying to determine why $$ \lim_{N \rightarrow +\infty} ln( \frac {N!} {(N-n)! N^n}) = 0$$ N and n are both positive integers, and n is smaller than N. I want to use Stirling's, which becomes exact as N->inf: $$ ln(N!) \approx Nln(N)-N $$ And take it term by term: $$ \lim_{N...

I simplified somewhat and got (1/e-(1-x/(1+x))x)/(1/x) So i can't find that it is 0/0 form so tried by applyying L'Hospitale,But it just became complicated.So need help.

I've understood the formal definition of limits and its various applications. However, I'm trying to dive more into the history of how the concept of limits were conceived (more than what Wikipedia tends to cover), and how to formally understand and visualise infinitesimals. For example, I know...

How do you show that $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{50x^{10}+100}{x^{11}+x^6+1}=0$ What I tried: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{50x^{10}+100}{x^{11}+x^6+1} =\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{50+100/x^{11}}{1+1/x^{5}+1/x^{11}} = \frac{50+0}{1+0+0} = 50.$ But this is wrong. (Angry)

In this video of Laplace transforms the equation \lim_{t \to \infty}\frac{te^{-st}}{-s} is said to be 0. I'm not sure I agree with the reasoning. It says it's because e^t grows faster than t; can you treat infinity like that? For example could you say \lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{x}{x^2}=0? I...
