The sequence #a_n->0# for any fixed #x#

Explanation:

For any fixed #x = x_0# there is a #n_0# such that for #n>n_0# the sequence #a_n->0#. The converse is easy to obtain. Given a #n_0# then fixing a #x_0 = log_e(n_0!)/log_en_0#, for #n>n_0# then #a_n(x_0)->0#

For every #x#, #lim_(nrarroo)n^x/(n!) = 0#

Explanation:

Exponential grows faster than power.

#AAx# #lim_(nrarroo)n^x/(e^n) = 0#

Factorial grows faster than exponential.

#lim_(nrarroo)e^n/(n!) = 0#

The product must also go to #0#
