    Factorial Limit
Click For Summary
The limit problem involves evaluating the expression as n approaches infinity, specifically focusing on the double factorials of even and odd numbers. A suggested approach is to analyze the ratio of consecutive terms in the sequence to simplify the limit. Participants in the discussion emphasize the need for a solid understanding of factorials and their properties to tackle the problem effectively. The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing patterns in the terms to facilitate the limit calculation. Ultimately, a methodical approach to the double factorials is crucial for finding the solution.

Homework Statement



Solve the following limit:
$$ \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty }n\cdot\left ( \frac{2\cdot4\cdot6 \cdots (2n-2)}{1\cdot3\cdot5\cdots (2n-1)} \right )^{2}$$

The Attempt at a Solution



I don't know where to begin. Until know I've encountered limits which I could deal with in some way but this is new for me. Any tips?

Thank you for your time.
