    Is the \displaystyle i in your first problem the imaginary number \displaystyle i = \sqrt{-1}?

    No, it isn't. It refers to "i times". This formula is calculated after analysis of algortihms by using summations.

    I thought i can solve this limit by L' Hopital's Rule but after derivatives of both parts. The first one is equal to 0 but i have problem with the second one. Can i rewrite log as n^1/2 but i'm not sure about it since the log itself is square root not the "n" nor "2". The second one is equal to 0 after rewriting log but not the first one. Or should i take derivative not once but until the second one is equal to zero which i haven't tried yet since i'm not sure about rewriting log
