The Stirling approximation for the factorial would make this really quick! x! ≡ Γ(x+1) ~ sqrt(2πx) (x/e)^x as x -> ∞ So x! / x^x = O(x^1/2 e^-x) as x -> ∞ -> 0 as x -> ∞ , since e^-x is beyond all orders in x^k as x -> ∞ (and nice thing is this clearly holds for non-integer x via the gamma function, so no need to worry about the factorial of a non-integer aspect in a continuous limit)

@@maelhostettler1004 I’ve done exactly that so I am satisfied, not sure about everyone else though 😭 Also proved the Stirling series to the next order term using Laplace’s Method and And Watson’s Lemma, in fact: x! ≡ Γ(x+1) ~ sqrt(2πx) (x/e)^x * [ 1 + 1/(12x) + 1/(288x^2) + … ] as x -> ∞ The first term of the series is the commonly known “Stirling Approximation”, which in itself is extremely accurate for large x so the other terms aren’t really needed, but still it’s very interesting! The point is to use what we already know - there’s no point in not using the Stirling Formula given it’s been proved and is now a common result. It’s like saying you can’t use the squeeze theorem, because u don’t know the proof of it. The result I showed is better anyways as it shows the asymptotic behaviour of the limit function at large x precisely, and not just the limiting result at infinity. And arguably, the Stirling series is not hard to show - just need a few integration by parts and clever substitutions. The foundations are set in stone

For positive integer X, we know that X! = X * (X-1) * (X-2) * .... * 1, totalling X terms, we know X^X is X * X * X... * X, X terms, so X!/X^X is X/X * (X-1)/X * (X-2)/X * ... * 1/X We know that the first term is 1, the second term onwards all the way to 1/X is less than 1, so the original function is always less than 1 for any positive integer X. As X approaches infinity, the last term (1/X) approaches zero, so the original function must also approach zero.

This is more easily seen as 1/(infinity) or just 0. *Also multiplying out x! gives some polynomial with leading coefficient one: x^x - x^x + (xC2)x^(x-2) + … This means the degree of the numerator is smaller than the degree of the denominator, so the limit is zero.

Notice that f is always moving “farther away” from the denominator, but their ratio is approaching 1/2 and not zero.

Here is another way : assume x is a positive integer (otherwise, we use the gamma function and it’s - nearly - the same story). Let f be the fonction x -> x ! / x^x, from N to Q, and A (x) = f (x+1) / f(x). Then A (x) = f (x+1) / f(x) = (x+1) ! x^x / x ! (x + 1)^(x + 1) = x^x / (x + 1)^x = (1 + 1/x)^(-x) = exp (-x ln (1+1/x)). Using equivalents, we see that lim A (x) is 1/e when x -> ∞. Then, for x big enough, A (x) < 1/2 and f(x) < 1/2^x, which proves lim f (x) = 0. Thanks for your videos !

You consider the series sum_n^{infty} n!/n^n, use the quotient test, conclude that the series converges and deduce the limit of the sequence of summands to be zero. Note that when you write x!, you would typically mean the (continuous) Gamma-function, which coincides with a factorial only for integers x.

Alternative method: The sequence a(n) = n!/n^n is decreasing since a(n+1) = a(n) * (n/n+1)^n < a(n). The sequence also has a lower bound since every term is positive. Therefore the sequence converges by monotone convergence. Notice that the limit as n approaches infinity of (n/n+1)^n = (1 - 1/n+1)^n is e^-1 = 1/e. So now lim a(n+1) = lim a(n) * (n/n+1)^n = 1/e * lim a(n). But lim a(n+1) = lim a(n) so this implies lim a(n) = 0.

If we're assuming that x is a whole number, so that x! is defined, I would have written it with n, rather than x. Sometimes this doesn't make a difference, but sometimes it does. For example, the sequence sin(πn) is just 0, 0, 0, ... so it has limit 0. But the limit of the function sin(πx) (where x is a real number) as x approaches infinity does not exist.

I want to share an alternate approach i had for this.I am not the best at expressing my thoughts in word so apologies in advance. Basically in x!/x^x ,since x^x has x terms and including 1(even though it doesnt change anything) x! has x terms. so we can re write it as x/x * x-1/x * x-2/x .... 2/x * 1/x Now the first term is 1. Second term can be written as x -1 /x = x/x - 1 /x ,and when x approaches infinity,this approaches one. For the last few terms ,its just constant divided by x,when x goes to infinity they approach 0. So in the end we have 1 * 1 * 1 ... 0* 0 = 0 I hope i didnt accidentally get the wrong answer with the right steps

I like using logarithms in these situations to see how it works out. In this case, x is a positive integer. ln( x!/x^x) = ln( [1*2*3*…*x] / x^x) = ln( 1/x 2/x 3/x … x/x) = ln(1/x) + ln(2/x) + … + ln(x/x) ≤ ln(1/x) Which tends to -∞ as x->∞. So the original limit tends to -∞ as well. Exponentiating we get the original limit is 0.
