Give your answer to 2 decimal places.

Nice elaboration! +1
As @Harsh Shrivastava pointed out below, you may use the approximation ln ( n + 1 ) ≈ ln ( n ) for large** n to simplify the working.

Disagree. That idea of approximation is bad / irrelevant / doesn't provide a proper explanation. See my comment for more details.
Great work! +1
logn (n)=1 ,infinitely +1=infinitely and that is very easy
For lim x → ∞ ( lo g n ( n + 1 ) ) Use L'Hopital's theorem for lim x → a ( g ( x ) f ( x ) ) , if lim x → a ( g ( x ) f ( x ) ) = 0 0 or lim x → a ( g ( x ) f ( x ) ) = ± ∞ ∞ then lim x → a ( g ( x ) f ( x ) ) = lim x → a ( g ′ ( x ) f ′ ( x ) )
For extremely large n, lo g ( n + 1 ) ≈ lo g ( n )
Thus answer is unity.
That approximation sign is bad, because it doesn't convey anything useful.
What does it mean to be approximately equal? If we consider the sequence ( 0 . 1 ) n , would we say that ( 0 . 1 ) n ≈ ( 0 . 1 ) n + 1 , esp since they are both approximately 0?
If no, why not?
if yes, can we conclude that the ratio of these terms is 1?

You can use the substitution: lo g x y = ln x ln y
lim n → ∞ lo g n ( n + 1 ) = lim n → ∞ ln ( n ) ln ( n + 1 )
By L'Hopital's Rule: lim n → ∞ ln ( n ) ln ( n + 1 ) = lim n → ∞ n 1 n + 1 1 = lim n → ∞ n + 1 n = lim n → ∞ 1 − n + 1 1 = 1
