limits - Finding limntoinftyfracsqrtn!2n




I'm looking for a way to find this limit:



lim



I think I have found that it diverges, by plugging numbers into the formula and "sandwich" the result. However I can't find way to prove it.



I know that n! \approx \sqrt{2 \pi n}(\frac{n}{e})^n when n \to \infty. (Stirling rule I think)



However, I don't know how I could possibly use it. I mean, I tried using the rule of De l'Hôpital after using that rule, but I didn't go any further.


Answer




\frac{\sqrt{n!}}{2^n}\sim\frac{(2\pi\,n)^{1/4}\Bigl(\dfrac{n}{e}\Bigr)^{n/2}}{2^n}=(2\pi\,n)^{1/4}\Bigl(\frac{\sqrt n}{2\sqrt e}\Bigr)^{n}.
Since \dfrac{\sqrt n}{2\sqrt e} and n^{1/4} converge to \infty, so does \dfrac{\sqrt{n!}}{2^n}.
