calculus - Limit Proof of ex/xn




I am wondering how to prove limxexxn=



I was thinking of using L'Hospital's rule? But then not sure how to do the summation for doing L'Hospital's rule n times on the denominator? Or whether it would be easier using longs like limxln(ex)ln(xn)?



Thank you!


Answer



You can certainly use L'Hopital's n times. That is, for each n0 we have limxexxn=limxexnxn1==limxexn!=

since at each stage we are in indeterminate form.
