limits - Stirling's formula: proof?

Suppose we want to show that n!2πnn+(1/2)en



Instead we could show that lim where C is a constant. Maybe C = \sqrt{2 \pi}.




What is a good way of doing this? Could we use L'Hopital's Rule? Or maybe take the log of both sides (e.g., compute the limit of the log of the quantity)? So for example do the following \lim_{n \to \infty} \log \left[\frac{n!}{n^{n+(1/2)}e^{-n}} \right] = \log C

real analysis - How to find lim_{hrightarrow 0}frac{sin(ha)}{h}

How to find \lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin(ha)}{h} without lhopital rule? I know when I use lhopital I easy get $$ \lim_{h\rightarrow 0}...
