Relevant wiki: Stirling's Formula
By Stirling's approximation for the factorial, we have n n n ! ∼ e n 2 π n and by an elementary argument 5 n 5 + 1 2 n 4 + 1 ∼ 5 n 2
Since also the two-variable function f ( x , y ) = x y is continuous on x > 0 , we have n → ∞ lim ( n n n ! ) 5 n 5 + 1 2 n 4 + 1 = n → ∞ lim ( e n 2 π n ) 5 n 2 = ( e 1 ) 5 2 ⋅ n → ∞ lim ( 2 π n ) 5 n 1
This last limit can be evaluated using L'Hopital's rule as (writing exp ( x ) = e x ) n → ∞ lim ( 2 π n ) 5 n 1 = n → ∞ lim exp ( 5 n ln ( 2 π n ) ) = exp ( n → ∞ lim 5 n ln ( 2 π n ) ) = exp ( n → ∞ lim 5 1 / n ) = exp ( 0 ) = 1
Therefore, the original limit is ( e 1 ) 5 2 ⋅ 1 = ( e 1 ) 5 2
