Exercise 77: Calculate the limit .

Solution:
We use the theorems Theorem: If  for a sequence we have , where q < 1, then .

Theorem: If  for a sequence we have , where q >1 1, then

Please, note that

Therefore

 

Using the definition of  n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2) * ... * 2 * 1, so n! = n * (n-1)!, we get

 

Thus , and using the theorem, we get
