Prove that $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{n} \cdot\sin^{\circ n}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}})=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ [duplicate]
It's known that $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{n} \cdot \sin^{\circ n}(x)=\sqrt{3}$ for any $x>0$.
And I found a new conclusion $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt{n} \cdot \sin^{\circ n}(\...

How do I prove interval 𝐴⊂[0,3] exists on this integration
Let $f:[0,3] \to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function satisfying
$$\int_{0}^{3}x^{k}f(x)dx=0 \quad \text{for each k = 0,1,}\dots,n-1$$ and
$$\int_{0}^{3}x^{n}f(x)dx=3.$$
Then prove that there is an ...

Under what conditions is $\lim_{x\to a}\left|\varphi\circ f(x)-\tau \circ g(x)\right|=0$ true?
This question is inspired from another much easier problem I was trying to solve which I tried to generalize. The question is essentially as follows (assuming all the limits exist)
If $a\in \mathbb R\...

What is the precise definition of infinite limit at infinity of a function?
I saw the following definition on youtube.
Let $f$ be a function defined on some interval $(a, +\infty)$
$\lim\limits_{x \to +\infty} f(x)= +\infty$ (1)
means $\forall N > 0$ $\exists M > 0$ ...

If $a_n=\sqrt{1+\sqrt{2+\cdots\sqrt{n}}}$ and $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}a_n=\ell$, prove $\lim_{n\to\infty}[(\ell-a_n)^{1/n}n^{1/2}]=\frac{\sqrt e}2$
$$a_n=\sqrt{1+\sqrt{2+\cdots\sqrt{n}}}$$
We can prove that $\{a_n\}$ is convergent
(using mathematical induction, $\sqrt {k+\sqrt{k+1+\cdots\sqrt{n}}}\leq k-1, for \ k\geq3$).
