Proving a Mathematical Limit for N > 0

Proving a Mathematical Limit for N > 0

In mathematics, there are many expressions and inequalities that are not always straightforward to prove. This article aims to demonstrate the proof of a specific limit for ( n > 0 ). We will walk through the steps required to establish that 11/n^{n1/2}e^{1/n} for ( n > 0 ).

Introduction to the Problem

When dealing with expressions involving n, especially when n is not defined for ( n 0 ), it becomes essential to break the problem down into manageable components. The goal of this article is to provide a clear, detailed, and comprehensive proof for the given mathematical expression.

Proof Strategy

The key to proving the expression is to manipulate it into a more manageable form. By setting ( x sqrt{n} ), the problem can be transformed into a more familiar mathematical series, which can then be evaluated.

Step 1: Setting Up the Expression

Start by rewriting the given expression in a way that makes it easier to work with:

11/ne^{1/n1/2}

Set ( x sqrt{n} ). Therefore, the expression becomes:

11/x e^{1/x}

Step 2: Applying Series Expansion

Next, we need to express the exponential function using a series expansion. Recall that the Taylor series expansion of ( e^y ) is:

1 y y^2/2! y^3/3! ...

For our expression, ( y 1/x ), so:

1 1/x (1/x)^2/2! (1/x)^3/3! ...

Therefore:

11/x e^{1/x} 1 1/x (1/x)^2/2! (1/x)^3/3! ...

Now, the left-hand side of our expression can be written as:

1/xe^{1/x} 1/x(1 1/x (1/x)^2/2! (1/x)^3/3! ...)

Step 3: Simplifying the Expression

The left-hand side can be simplified further:

(1/x)e^{1/x} (1/x)(1 1/x (1/x)^2/2! (1/x)^3/3! ...)

Expanding the series:

(1/x)(1 1/x (1/x)^2/2! (1/x)^3/3! ...) (1/x)(1 1/x (1/x)^2/2 (1/x)^3/6 ...)

Now, let's focus on the right-hand side of the original problem, which is:

1/2x^2 e^{1/x} 1/2x^2(1 1/x (1/x)^2/2! (1/x)^3/3! ...)

Expanding the series:

(1/2x^2)(1 1/x (1/x)^2/2! (1/x)^3/3! ...) (1/2x^2)(1 1/x (1/x)^2/2 (1/x)^3/6 ...)

Step 4: Comparing Both Sides

Both sides are now in the same form, and we need to show that they are equal under the condition ( n > 0 ).

1/2x^2(1 1/x (1/x)^2/2 (1/x)^3/6 ...) 1/x(1 1/x (1/x)^2/2 (1/x)^3/6 ...)

Multiplying both sides by ( 2x^2 ) to simplify:

(1 1/x (1/x)^2/2 (1/x)^3/6 ...) 2x(1 1/x (1/x)^2/2 (1/x)^3/6 ...)

This simplifies to:

1 1/x (1/x)^2/2 (1/x)^3/6 ... 2 2/x 1 (1/x)^2 (1/x)^3/3 ...

The equality holds for all ( n > 0 ) because both sides are equivalent to the same series expansion.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have successfully proven that ( 11/n^{n1/2}e^{1/n} ) for ( n > 0 ). This proof demonstrates the importance of series expansion and manipulation in solving complex mathematical expressions.
