Question

All parts except (d) please.


Let Ln be the number of ordered lists (without repetition) that can be formed from a set of n elements. That is, Problem 1.2.11 in our textbook asks you to prove that Ln is "very nearly n!e." Prove that (It follows immediately that , so that Ln is "asymptotic to" n!e.) For each positive integer n, show that Use this to prove that (This is stronger than the result above.) For a real number x, let [x] denote the integer nearest to x. For what values of n is Ln (ximil to [n!e]? (Optional) Use a computer spreadsheet or computer algebra system to calculate Ln and nle for 1

Explanation / Answer

// First of all try to understand the example

ordered list of size 0 that can be formed from set of n elements = 1

ordered list of size 1 that can be formed from set of n elements = nc1 (n choose 1)

ordered list of size 2 that can be formed from set of n elements = nc2 (n choose 2)

.

.

so Ln = submition of(n)k

= (1+x)^n

= nc0 + nc1*x + nc2*x^2 + nc3*x^3 ...


where x tending to 1.


now lim n tending to infinite

by induction , let

(1+x)^n/ n!


y = (1+x)/1 * (1+x)/2 * .....(1+x)/n

where x tending to 1 and n tending to infinite



2^n < n! < n^n


now y = (1+x)^n / ((n!)^n)^(1/n) (if taken uper limit)

= (1+x/n)^n

= e

fx = (x+1)^(1/x)x tends to infinite is e.



put lower limit for inequality.




3. (1+x)^n = n!e

n should be infinite.
