- I need help with this limit:
-
- k+q
- --- i
- -k \ k
- lim e / ----- ,
- k->infty --- i!
- i=0
-
- where q is a positive integer constant. The problem is made hard by
- the k in the index screwing everything up. The only thing I know about
- the limit is that it is between 0 and 1: all terms are positive, and
- k
- the sum is finitely many terms of e . It appears to be monotonically
- decreasing in k.
-
- Anyone have a solution? Please e-mail. I don't usually read this
- group. Thanks!
