Answer: the cost of each pencil is $0.5

the cost of each eraser is $0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one pencil.

Let y represent the cost of one eraser.

Becky spent $1.45 for 2 pencils and 3 erasers. This means that

2x + 3y = 1.45- - - - - - - - - -1

Luke spent $2.65 for 5 pencils and 1 eraser. This means that

5x + y = 2.65- - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

2x + 3y = 1.45

15x + 3y = 7.95

Subtracting, it becomes

- 13x = - 6.5

x = - 6.5/- 13

x = 0.5

Substituting x = 0.5 into equation 2, it becomes

5 × 0.5 + y = 2.65

2.5 + y = 2.65

y = 2.65 - 2.5

y = 0.15

Answer:

We want to find:

\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt[n]{n!} }{n}

Here we can use Stirling's approximation, which says that for large values of n, we get:

n! = \sqrt{2*\pi*n} *(\frac{n}{e} )^n

Because here we are taking the limit when n tends to infinity, we can use this approximation.

Then we get.

\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt[n]{n!} }{n} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt[n]{\sqrt{2*\pi*n} *(\frac{n}{e} )^n} }{n} =  \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{n}{e*n} *\sqrt[2*n]{2*\pi*n}

Now we can just simplify this, so we get:

\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{e} *\sqrt[2*n]{2*\pi*n} \\

And we can rewrite it as:

\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{e} *(2*\pi*n)^{1/2n}

The important part here is the exponent, as n tends to infinite, the exponent tends to zero.

Thus:

\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{e} *(2*\pi*n)^{1/2n} = \frac{1}{e}*1 = \frac{1}{e}
