Find lim
I have no idea how to solve it, I can approximate it to be in (0,1) by squeezing but getting to the solution (\frac 1 e) seems like it would require a lot more. Is this an identity?
Note: no integrals nor gamma function.
Answer
Note this
\left( \frac{x!}{x^x} \right)^{1/x} = (a_x)^{1/x}
where a_x = \frac{x!}{x^x} and then use the fact that
\lim_{x\to \infty} (a_x)^{1/x} = \lim_{x\to \infty} \frac{a_{x+1}}{a_x}
and the evaluation of limit will become easy
\lim_{x\to \infty} \frac{a_{x+1}}{a_x} = \lim_{x\to \infty} \frac{1}{(1+1/x)^x} = \frac{1}{e}.
