n → ∞ lim n − n 2 [ ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 1 ) ( n + 4 1 ) … ( n + 2 n − 1 1 ) ] n
If the above limit equals to α , what is the value of ⌊ 1 0 0 0 α ⌋ ?

Nice solution method, Joel. I'm a little concerned about the steps taken to get to the e a 1 result, even though that is indeed to correct result. Another approach would be
lim n → ∞ ( 1 + a n 1 ) n =
lim n → ∞ ( ( 1 + a n 1 ) a n ) a 1 = ( lim n → ∞ ( 1 + a n 1 ) a n ) a 1 .
Now let u = a n . Then u → ∞ as n → ∞ , and so our expression becomes
( lim u → ∞ ( 1 + u 1 ) u ) a 1 = e a 1 .
did the same process....!!!!! ;)
We can rewrite the limit as
exp
n
→
∞
lim
n
k
=
1
∑
n
−
1
ln
(
1
+
n
2
k
1
)
.
Use
ln
(
1
+
x
)
=
x
+
o
(
x
)
(Taylor series around zero), to get
n
k
=
1
∑
n
−
1
ln
(
1
+
n
2
k
1
)
=
(
k
=
1
∑
n
−
1
2
k
1
)
+
o
(
1
)
Then the limit is
e
2
.
EXACTLY the same approach!!!
I used L'Hopital's rule in step 4, and cancelled -1/n^2 in step 5. floor(1000 * e^2) = 7389

First lets use the identity n − n 2 = ( n − n ) n then, lim n → ∞ ( n − n ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 1 ) ( n + 4 1 ) . . . ( n + 2 n − 1 1 ) ) n = lim n → ∞ ( ( 1 + n 1 ) ( 1 + 2 n 1 ) ( 1 + 4 n 1 ) . . . ( 1 + 2 n − 1 n 1 ) ) n = lim n → ∞ ( 1 + n 1 ) n × lim n → ∞ ( 1 + 2 n 1 ) n × lim n → ∞ ( 1 + 4 n 1 ) n × . . .
What is lim n → ∞ ( 1 + a n 1 ) n ?
Simple, lim n → ∞ ( 1 + a n 1 ) n = lim n → ∞ e n ln ( 1 + a n 1 ) = lim n → ∞ e n 1 ln ( 1 + a n 1 ) = lim n → ∞ e − n 2 1 a 1 ( − n 2 1 ) ln ( 1 + a n 1 ) = lim n → ∞ e a 1 ln ( 1 + a n 1 ) = e a 1
So, e 1 e 2 1 e 4 1 . . . = e 1 + 2 1 + 4 1 + . . . = e 2
and e 2 is 7.389... so the answer is 7390.
