The Stirling's approximation formula:
where the sign ~ means that the two quantities are asymptotic: their ratio tends to 1 as 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 $k \neq 0$
