    The document discusses limit theorems and provides 3 examples. It explains that as n approaches infinity, the limit of (1/n) is 0, the limit of (sqrt(n)+1)/n is 0 using factor comparison in the numerator and denominator, and the limit of (1+1/n)^n is e using the binomial formula and squeeze theorem.

    Study Notes 2 | LIMIT THEOREMS

    Limit Theorems

    As with every section, you should carefully read section 17. You should also review the basic limit
    laws and methods, as they relate to sequences, in your calculus book. Here we will supply only a couple
    of examples and, if you have specific questions when working the problems, I will address them at that
    time.

    Example:

    Example:

    Notice that Looking at the value in parenthesis, the numerator

    and denominator both have factors. If we compare each and every factor of the numerator to one
    in the denominator, we know that the value in parenthesis must be less than or equal to one for every

    natural number. Making this substitution, we have . Now, since

    we know from the squeeze theorem that also.

    Example: Show that if , then

    We will assume , since . Then for some . Using the binomial

    formula yields .

    So . Since as we have, from the squeeze as .
