I = ∫ 0 1 0 x n ( 1 0 − x ) n d x
Taking x = 1 0 z transforms the integral to:
I = 1 0 2 n + 1 ∫ 0 1 z n ( 1 − z ) n d z I = 1 0 2 n + 1 B ( n + 1 , n + 1 )
Where B ( x , y ) denotes the Beta function. Knowing that:
B ( x , y ) = Γ ( x + y ) Γ ( x ) Γ ( y )
⟹ I = 1 0 2 n + 1 ( 2 n + 1 ) ! ( n ! ) 2 ∵ Γ ( n + 1 ) = n !
Where n is a positive integer.
I 1 / n = ( 1 0 2 n + 1 ( 2 n + 1 ) ! ( n ! ) 2 ) 1 / n I 1 / n = 1 0 2 + 1 / n ( ( 2 n + 1 ) ! ( n ! ) 2 ) 1 / n n → ∞ lim I 1 / n = n → ∞ lim 1 0 2 + 1 / n ( ( 2 n + 1 ) ! ( n ! ) 2 ) 1 / n n → ∞ lim I 1 / n = 1 0 0 n → ∞ lim ( ( 2 n + 1 ) ! ( n ! ) 2 ) 1 / n
Using the Stirling approximation of the factorial:
n ! ≈ 2 π n ( e n ) n
Plugging this into the expression above gives:
n → ∞ lim I 1 / n = 1 0 0 n → ∞ lim ( 2 π ( 2 n + 1 ) ( e 2 n + 1 ) 2 n + 1 ( 2 π n ( e n ) n ) 2 ) 1 / n
Simplifying the above expression leads to the following trivial limit:
n → ∞ lim I 1 / n = 1 0 0 n → ∞ lim ( 2 n + 1 ) 2 n 2 ⟹ n → ∞ lim I 1 / n = 2 5
Some intermediate steps have been skipped in the solution.
