1. Show that the sequence<br />

lim<br />

n<br />

2n!!<br />

2n 1!! 0.<br />

Proof: Let a and b be positive integers satisfying a b 1. <strong>The</strong>n we have<br />

a!b a!b! a b! ab!. *<br />

So, if we let fn 2n!, then we have, by (*)<br />

2n!!<br />

2n 1!! fn!<br />

fn2n 1! 1<br />

2n 1 0.<br />

Hence, we know that lim n<br />

2. Show that<br />

2n!!<br />

2n1!!<br />

a n 1 1 n 1 2 n 1 n n e 1/2 as n ,<br />

where x means Gauss Symbol.<br />

Proof: Since<br />

x 1 2 x2 log1 x x, for all x 1, 1<br />

we have<br />

Consider i 2 n i 1 2 , then by Sandwish <strong>The</strong>orem, we know that<br />

lim n<br />

log a n 1/2<br />

which implies that a n e 1/2 as n .<br />

3. Show that n! 1/n n for all n N. ( n! 1/n as n .)<br />

Proof: We prove it by a special method following Gauss’ method. Consider<br />

n! 1 k n<br />

n n k 1 1<br />

and thus let fk : kn k 1, it is easy to show that fk f1 n for all<br />

k 1, 2, . . . , n. So, we have prove that<br />

n! 2 n n<br />

which implies that<br />

n! 1/n n .<br />

Remark: <strong>The</strong>re are many and many method to show n! 1/n as n . We do not<br />

give a detail proofs about it. But We method it as follows as references.<br />
