2. Here you will prove that lim
= ∞ without any use of L'Hopital's Rule.
→∞ In r
(a) For all positive integers n ≥ 1, prove that 2" > 2n.
(b) For all real numbers x ≥ 1, prove that 2r. Hint:Define n = [r].
(c) Recall e = 2.71828... is Euler's constant and e² is the exponential function. Since e > 2, you may
assume that lim ()* = ∞. Show that
et
lim == ∞0.
