The Stirling's approximation formula: n ! ∼ 2 π n ( n e ) n , where the sign ~ means that the two quantities are asymptotic: their ratio tends to 1 as n tends to infinity. This formula can be used to solve limits of sequences involving factorial. Practice problems: 1. The following problem is asked in CSIR NET 2020(TN-PY) Find the limit: \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{((n+1)(n+2)\cdots(n+n))^{\frac{1}{n}}}{n} Note: Here we use {n}^\frac{1}{n} \to 1. (Prove it also.) 2. \lim_{n \to \infty}( \frac{(n!)}{(kn)^n})^{\frac{1}{n}} where k \neq 0
