Question Number 34843 by rahul 19 last updated on 11/May/18
lim_ _(x→∞) ((ln x)/x) = ? You can only use series expansion / sandwich theorem!
$$\underset{{x}\rightarrow\infty} {\mathrm{lim}_{} }\:\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:{x}}{{x}}\:=\:? \\ $$$${You}\:{can}\:\:{only}\:{use} \\ $$$${series}\:{expansion}\:/\:{sandwich}\:{theorem}! \\ $$

changement x =1 +(1/t) give ((lnx)/x) = ((ln(1 + (1/t)))/(1+(1/t))) = ((ln(1+t) −ln(t))/((t+1)/t)) =(t/(t+1)){ln(1+t) −ln(t)} = ((t ln(1+t) −tln(t))/(t+1)) = (t/(t+1))ln(1+t) −((tln(t))/(t+1)) but ln( 1+t)^. = (1/(1+t)) =Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (−1)^n t^n ln(1+t) = Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (((−1)^n )/(n+1))t^(n+1) = Σ_(n=1) ^∞ (((−1)^(n−1) )/n) t^n ((ln(x))/x) = (t/(t+1)) ( t −(t^2 /2) +(t^3 /3) +...) −t ln(t)Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (−1)^n t^n = (t^2 /(t+1))( 1−(t/2) +(t^2 /3)+...) −Σ_(n=0) ^∞ (−1)^n t^(n+1) ln(t)→0 when t→0 so lim_(x→+∞) ((lnx)/x) =0
