Transcribed Image Text:Let \( X_n := n^{1/n} \) for \( n \in \mathbb{N} \).
- Show that \( X_{n+1} < X_n \) if and only if \( \left(1 + \frac{1}{n}\right)^n < n \).
- Show that the inequality is valid for \( n \geq 3 \).
- Conclude that \( X_n \) is ultimately decreasing.
- Show that the limit \( x := \lim(X_n) \) exists.
- Use the fact that the subsequence \( (X_{2n}) \) also converges to \( x \) to show that \( x = 1 \).
