Limit at infinity of factorial and exponential function

[@josephmartos]

Your way of explaining this was so beautiful :)

[@KahlieNiven]

Great video to teach how to formalize an intuition.

[@ECela-yw9sq]

Love your chalks and your math, keep up with the good work!

[@Arkapravo]

Cool method! You are a great teacher.

[@MekibebGebre]

Your teaching is excellent and I tell you to make videos about formal proof of limits and continuity involving radicals and denominator

[@PrimeNewtons]

I already have those videos. Thanks

BRO UR TOO GOOD AT TEACING MAN. @@PrimeNewtons

[@ThetrueIdiot6969]

i wonder why these educational videos get no views, even a stupid game play video can get higher view( those videos aren't fun or educational at all ) your content deserves more views

[@davidbrisbane7206]

Note ... 6^n/3^n < n!/3^n, where n > = 9. Now lim (6^n)/(3^n), as n goes to infinity = limit 2^n, as n goes to infinity, and this limit is infinite, hence the limit ( n!/3^), as n goes to infinity is also infinity .

[@nothingbutmathproofs7150]

Sweet method. I really liked it.

[@avi6n]

Incredibly helpful, thank you 🙏

[@cliffordabrahamonyedikachi8175]

You are doing well.

[@weslinpenacamacho1075]

I really like this exercise, thanks

[@GreenMeansGOF]

I usually use Stirling’s formula for these kinds if problems but this is better, especially if we have to prove the limit by definition.

[@steftetane]

Thanks for another great math video. What about the limit of n!/n^n ?

[@hydroarx]

n^n = n×n×n×n×n×... Whereas n! = n×(n-1)×(n-2)×(n-3)×... n^n is clearly bigger So this limit approaches 0

[@italixgaming915]

To make your proof perfectly clean, you should write that you consider the case n>5 otherwise the part you're deleting doesn't exist. Anyway, you don't need to develop everything. Let's call a(n)=n!/3^n. You have: a(n+1)/a(n)=[(n+1)!/n!].[3^n/3^(n+1)]=(n+1)/3. So a(n) is a rising series. You can also say that a(n+1)=a(n).(n+1)/3 => a(n+1)-a(n)=a(n)/3 and since a(n) is rising, so does a(n+1)-a(n). But by the definition of the limit, a series can't converge if the difference between its consecutive values becomes greater and greater. So the series diverges. And since it's rising, its limit must be +inf. Last method, even quicker: The answer was on your tee-shirt from the beginning.

[@nicolas.montero4941]

you are the man

[@isidorolorenzo802]

Just a smooth remark, my dear friend. It's a matter of notation: as infinity is not a number (except in the dual space), you can't stand a limit equal to infinity but tending to infinity. 😏👍

[@joaomane4831]

This is wrong. A limit can be equal to Infinity, that's the whole concept of a limit. Now the function itself or the sequence, must be approaching infinity and not be equal to Infinity due to the reasons you stated.

[@TheMasterGreen]

correct me if I am wrong but isn't it obvious that the numerator is clearly greater than the denominator when n --> inf therefore implying that it approaches +infinity? Or am I wrong?

[@John-uo5tm]

Cool limit! For some real fun, replace the 3 with n. 😊

[@davidcarras4743]

Another great video!

[@AbouTaim-Lille]

The factorial function is stronger than any power function a^x ,a>1. It can be shown if we calculate the limit of I(n) = x(n)/x(n+1),were x(n) = n!/a^n, a>1. We have : I(n) = (n!/ a^n )/ (n+1)!/a^n+1 = n!/(n+1)!. a = a/n+1 -->0 when n-->∞. Which makes it easy to see that x(n) is strongly decreasing even for the large values of a. To be honest the product a^n. n! is compared with n^n.

[@مسعودکشاورز-ب2ص]

very very nice.

[@cameroncurtis7261]

Always remember, the only thing bigger than a factorial is another factorial 😅

[@juergenilse3259]

I beg to differ: I think, the "ackermann function" is growing much faster than simple factorial ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_function 😇

ratio test is saviour

[@michaelstahl1515]

Nice proof , really !

[@aguyontheinternet8436]

I mean, imagine the fraction n!/(3^n). What does it equal, who knows, just needs to be greater than 0. Now look at the fraction when you increase n by 1 (n!)/(3^n) * (n+1)(3) So for any n>3, this function will grow larger, making the limit infinity as n gets larger and larger. Edit: watching the video, that was the exact thing you took advantage of

[@roddos]

Great.

[@saidnajarro]

I love you!

[@wes9627]

Stirling's approximation states that ln(n!) is approximately equal to n*ln(n)-n Thus, ln(n!/3^n) is approximately n*ln(n)-n-n*ln3=n[ln(n)-1-ln3], which tends to ∞ as n→∞ Therefore n!/3^n→∞ as n→∞

[@timetraveller2818]

a neater answer would be to probably to prove Stirling's approximation and then write just as you would say but this is also beautifully elegant Edit:Just realized that I didn't write to prove.

[@brunoporcu3207]

Sorry, I dont understand the equal. If I delete that terms it shouldn't just be major? Thank you so much

[@vishalmishra3046]

You're multiplying an ever increasing large number to the numerator but matching it with just multiplying a 3 to the denominator. So, there is no limit to how big the numerator grows while denominator is just 3 more times of the previous denominator. So the result has to grow into positive infinity with no other choice.

[@bogusawsroda3747]

1:10 nice man

[@juergenilse3259]

I would look at the cases wit n>6: n!/3^n=(1*2*3*3*5*6)/3^6*product(i)/product(3) i=7 to n Let C=(1*2*3*4*5*6)/3^6 n!/3^n=C*product(i)/product(3) i=7 to n > C*product(6)/product(3) i=7 to n = C*product(6/3) i=7 to n = C*(6/3)^n = C*2^n So lim(n!/3^n) > lim(C*2^n) = C*li(2^n) = infinity As you can see, lim(n!/3^n) diverges at least as fast as C*lim(2^n) with some constant C>0. In the video, it was shown, that lim(n!/3^n) diverges faster than lim(1/27*n), but in fact, it diverges not only faster than a linear term, it diverges even faster than an exponential term with base larger than 1.

[@bradfoster6092]

Hell yea!

[@guest2649]

i just thought of it like 3^n = 3*3*3.. while as n! = 1*2*3*4*5.. So as only 2 products are less than the 3^n product, n! would take over 3^n quite fast

What about using the ratio test

[@PrimeNewtons]

Sadly, the topic this student was dealing with was limits. So I couldn't even mention Ratio test.

[@ayanahmed5114]

is the factorial function differentiable

[@davidg5898]

It is not. Only continuous functions are differentiable. The factorial function fails that test because it is only defined for integers (non-negative integers, specifically). You can do a bit of mathemagic to come up with something akin to what you're asking by taking the derivative of the gamma function (a continuous version of the factorial function) and evaluating it at integer values.

[@chendingbang1536]

stirling approximation!

[@dpmike32819]

What about the ratio test? Easier

[@vp_arth]

That limit is just 2 * (3/3) * (4/3) * (5/3) * infinite serie of more than one members

[@anghme28ang11]

6:49 why is the inequality like so, why can it be equal to

[@anghme28ang11]

Also doesnt diverge not mean infinity

[@swampfolk2526]

Ну вообще этот предел очевиден без просмотра видео. Факториал каждым следующим N домножает на N предыдущий результат, а знаменатель каждое следующее N домножается на 3. очевидно что при бесконечности множитель будет последний как бесконечность деленная на 3, что есть бесконечность. Т.е. предел бесконечный очевидно.

[@maciejterakowski9062]

I need 3 sec. to find the result

[@FrancisHealy-w9f]

This is so obvious. How could this take more than ten seconds? Let fsubn(n) = (n/3) * fsubn-1). This clearly diverges as n gets big.

[@ivandeneriev7500]

X!=840 how to solve (not graphically)

[@rubixmc7320]

Use the gamma function. It is an integral, so you’ll need to look it up. Γ(n) = (n-1)! So just solve Γ(n+1) = 840

[@Yougottacryforthis]

No solution

[@ubiraceelihimas]

esta muito rápido sem explicar

[@arolimarcellinus8541]

why lots of limit problems need to assume that HS student passed their analysis class?? No one ever take mathematical analysis, but those limits problems force us to use it if we cannot use L'Hospital. Limit problems is the source of why students hate math. Because math teacher doesn't even teach analysis properly, especially in inequalities. Can you imagine how many students in the class that can make the inequality postulate (n!)/3^n >= (1*2*n)/(3*3*3)?? I can bet my 100 bucks it will be less than 10 in regular classes.

[@koenigtiger6550]

Ну это очень простая задача. Я её решил за несколько секунд в уме.

[@dmihovilovic]

This looks too complicated.....n! is n(n-1)(n-2)....*1, therefore for a very large n,, n! will look like n^n. Then n!/3^n = n^n/3^n = (n/3)^n that tends to infinity when n tends to infinity.

[@alfredopi8699]

SI può ottenere lo stesso risultato più velocemente sostituendo n! con la Formula di Stirling valida per "n grande"
