1. Problem Description

We are asked to find the limit of the expression n100en\frac{n^{100}}{e^n} as nn approaches infinity.

2. Solution Steps

Since we are dealing with a limit of the form \frac{\infty}{\infty}, we can apply L'Hopital's Rule. L'Hopital's Rule states that if limxcf(x)g(x)\lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} is of the indeterminate form 00\frac{0}{0} or \frac{\infty}{\infty}, then limxcf(x)g(x)=limxcf(x)g(x)\lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}, provided the limit exists.
Let f(n)=n100f(n) = n^{100} and g(n)=eng(n) = e^n. Then f(n)=100n99f'(n) = 100n^{99} and g(n)=eng'(n) = e^n.
We have limnn100en=limn100n99en\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n^{100}}{e^n} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{100n^{99}}{e^n}.
We can apply L'Hopital's Rule repeatedly. After applying it 100 times, we get:
limnn100en=limn100!en\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n^{100}}{e^n} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{100!}{e^n}.
Since 100!100! is a constant and ene^n goes to infinity as nn goes to infinity, we have:
limn100!en=0\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{100!}{e^n} = 0.
Alternatively, using L'Hopital's rule kk times on limnn100en\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n^{100}}{e^n}, where k100k \le 100
limnn100en=limn100(99)(98)(100k+1)n100ken\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n^{100}}{e^n} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{100(99)(98) \dots (100-k+1) n^{100-k}}{e^n}.
When k=100k=100,
limnn100en=limn100!en=0\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n^{100}}{e^n} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{100!}{e^n} = 0.
