# Help in limits maybe?

Here's a problem i am not being able to solve:

$$prove$$ $$that$$

$\large{lim_{x\to \frac{\pi}{2}}}\LARGE{(1^{\frac{1}{cos^{2}x}}+2^{\frac{1}{cos^{2}x}}+...........+n^{\frac{1}{cos^{2}x}})^{cos^{2}x}=n}$

Sort by:

To prove :

$\displaystyle \large{lim_{x\to \frac{\pi}{2}}}\LARGE{(1^{\frac{1}{cos^{2}x}}+2^{\frac{1}{cos^{2}x}}+...........+n^{\frac{1}{cos^{2}x}})^{cos^{2}x}=n}$

Let $$y=\frac{1}{cos^2x}$$ . As $$x\to \frac{\pi}{2}, y\to \infty$$.

Therefore , $limit=\displaystyle Lim_{y\to \infty} (1^y+2^y+3^y+....+n^y)^{\frac{1}{y}} \quad \quad \quad \infty^0 \ form$ $\quad \quad \quad = (n^y)^{\frac{1}{y}} \left[ \left(\frac{1}{n} \right)^y+ \left(\frac{2}{n} \right)^y+ \left(\frac{3}{n} \right)^y+......+ \left(\frac{n-1}{n} \right)^y+1 \right]^{\frac{1}{y}}$ $\quad \quad \quad = n.\left[ \left(\frac{1}{n} \right)^y+ \left(\frac{2}{n} \right)^y+ \left(\frac{3}{n} \right)^y+......+ \left(\frac{n-1}{n} \right)^y+1 \right]^{\frac{1}{y}}$ $\quad \quad \quad =n . (1)^0 =\boxed{n}$

ohhh.. silly me! i forgot to consider that each of $$\frac{i}{n}$$ for $$i≤n-1$$ is less than $$1$$!!

making $$\lim_{y\to\infty}(\frac{i}{n})^{y}=0$$

anyways. thanks a lot for replying :D · 1 year, 11 months ago
