log ( lim n r = 0 n 1 [ n r n + r ] 1 n ) = lim n 1 n r = 0 n 1 log ( 1 r n 1 + r n ) = 0 1 log ( 1 x 1 + x ) d x = log 4 \displaystyle \begin{aligned} \log\left(\lim_{n\to\infty}\prod_{r=0}^{n-1}\left[\dfrac{n-r}{n+r}\right]^{\dfrac{1}{n}}\right) &= \lim_{n\to\infty}\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{r=0}^{n-1} \log\left(\dfrac{1-\dfrac{r}{n}}{1+\dfrac{r}{n}}\right)\\ &= \int_0^1 \log\left(\dfrac{1-x}{1+x}\right)\; dx \\ &= -\log 4\end{aligned}

This makes the answer 0.25 \boxed{0.25}

Hmm, Reimann Sums i see

I did a silly mistake and got the answer as 4 instead of 1/4

HAha! You wrote 1 4 ! \dfrac{1}{4!} so 1 24 \dfrac{1}{24}

I had done a question of this type on brilliant before so I knew how to approach it. Still got it wrong though!

Can you share such links where you got these kinds of problems? Or under which wiki they fall

Md Zuhair - 4 years ago

@Md Zuhair Yeah sure! I'll have to search for it though. Found it in the community problems once

@Md Zuhair https://brilliant.org/problems/2015_23-kvpy-2015-preparations/ Here is the link. I think they come under the wiki on Riemann Sums

Hey. How are you? It seems you dont open whatsapp. But i see that you are a topper. You can do any problem in Brilliant. I need your help. Can we have any other means of chatting?

@Md Zuhair I'm good! How are you? I'm not a topper! You are definitely better than me in many things. I would try to help though :) Could you chat on hangouts??

U could have used better options.

Similar solution with @Aditya Narayan Sharma 's

L = lim n r = 0 n 1 ( n r n + r ) 1 n = lim n exp ( ln ( r = 0 n 1 ( n r n + r ) 1 n ) ) = exp ( lim n 1 n r = 0 n 1 ln ( 1 r n 1 + r n ) ) By Riemann sums: lim n 1 n k = a b f ( k n ) = lim n a n lim n b n f ( x ) d x = exp ( 0 1 ln ( 1 x 1 + x ) d x ) = exp ( 0 1 ( ln ( 1 x ) ln ( 1 + x ) ) d x ) = exp ( ( 1 x ) ln ( 1 x ) ( 1 + x ) ln ( 1 + x ) 0 1 ) = e 2 ln 2 = e ln 1 4 = 1 4 = 0.25 \begin{aligned} L & = \lim_{n \to \infty} \prod_{r=0}^{n-1} \left(\frac {n-r}{n+r} \right)^\frac 1n \\ & = \lim_{n \to \infty} \exp \left(\ln \left( \prod_{r=0}^{n-1} \left(\frac {n-r}{n+r} \right)^\frac 1n \right)\right) \\ & = \exp \left({\color{#3D99F6} \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac 1n \sum_{r=0}^{n-1} \ln \left( \frac {1-\frac rn}{1+\frac rn}\right)}\right) & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{By Riemann sums: }\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac 1n \sum_{k=a}^b f \left(\frac kn\right) = \int_{\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac an}^{\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac bn} f(x) \ dx \\ & = \exp \left({\color{#3D99F6} \int_0^1 \ln \left( \frac {1-x}{1+x}\right) dx}\right) \\ & = \exp \left(\int_0^1 (\ln (1-x) - \ln(1+x)) \ dx \right) \\ & = \exp \left(-(1-x)\ln (1-x)- (1+x)\ln(1+x) \ \bigg|_0^1 \right) \\ & = e^{-2\ln 2} = e^{\ln \frac 14} = \frac 14 = \boxed{0.25} \end{aligned}

@Chew-Seong Cheong Sir, I have question. If we are given with an fractional integral like

0 1 { 1 x } 2 . d x \displaystyle{\int^{1}_{0} \{\dfrac{1}{x} \}^2 .dx}

Then how can we proceed?

Can you show the steps in the comments down?

I need help.

Thank you

Maybe you can get some ideas reading this link . It shows solving 0 1 { 1 x } d x \displaystyle \int_0^1 \left \{\frac 1x\right \} dx and another example.
