# Math Help - show limit of e^(1/n) / n = 0

1. ## show limit of e^(1/n) / n = 0

Hi all again,

I know that this limit = 0, but I'm blanking on how to show it..

$\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{e^{1/n}}{n} = 0$

I'm trying to manipulate it into an acceptable form for l'Hospital, but it isn't coming to me. Thanks for any help!

Brian

2. don't need L'Hopital as directly you get e^(0)/inf = 1/inf = 0

Oh! Of course...duh.. heh, thanks.

A little more rigorously note that $\left|\frac{e^{\frac{1}{n}}}{n}\right|\leqslant\fr ac{1}{n}$

So we will apply the sandwich theorem, right ?

True dat.
