Correct answer: 1
We are given We need to find and then compute .
1. Rewrite the product
Notice that So,
2. Take logarithms
Let us study : Now write Thus, \begin{align*} \ln y_n &=-\ln n+\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n \left[\ln n+\ln\left(1+\frac{k}{n}\right)\right] \ &=-\ln n+\frac{1}{n}(n\ln n)+\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n \ln\left(1+\frac{k}{n}\right) \ &=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n \ln\left(1+\frac{k}{n}\right). \end{align*}
As , this is a Riemann sum:
3. Evaluate the integral
We compute Therefore, \begin{align*} \int_0^1 \ln(1+x),dx &=\left[(1+x)\ln(1+x)-(1+x)\right]_0^1 \ &=(2\ln 2-2)-(0-1) \ &=2\ln 2-1. \end{align*} Hence, So,
4. Find the greatest integer
Now, Thus,
5. Compare with stored answer
Our derived answer is , which matches the stored correct answer.
