How can I calculate this limit? ideas? How can I calculate this limit?
$$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \frac{7^{\sqrt{n+1}-\sqrt{n}}\cdot(\frac{n+1}{2})!\cdot(\frac{n+1}{2})!}{(n+1)\cdot(\frac{n}{2})!\cdot(\frac{n}{2})!}$$
I don't have idea and I will be happy for help.
 A: Let apply Stirling’s approximation
$$n! \sim \sqrt{2 \pi n}\left(\frac{n}{e}\right)^n$$
that is
$$\left[\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)!\right]^2\sim 2 \pi \frac{n+1}2\left(\frac{n+1}{2e}\right)^{n+1}=\pi\frac{(n+1)^{n+2}}{2^{n+1}e^{n+1}}$$
$$\left[\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)!\right]^2\sim 2 \pi \frac n 2\left(\frac{n}{2e}\right)^n=\pi\frac{n^{n+1}}{2^ne^n}$$
and
$$\sqrt{n+1}-\sqrt{n}=\frac1{\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n}}\sim \frac1{2\sqrt n}$$
then
$$\frac{7^{\sqrt{n+1}-\sqrt{n}}\cdot(\frac{n+1}{2})!\cdot(\frac{n+1}{2})!}{(n+1)\cdot(\frac{n}{2})!\cdot(\frac{n}{2})!}\sim 7^{\frac1{2\sqrt n}}\frac{(n+1)^{n+1}}{2^{n+1}e^{n+1}}\frac{2^ne^n}{n^{n+1}}=\frac{7^{\frac1{2\sqrt n}}}{2e}\left(1+\frac1n\right)^{n+1}$$
A: For any $n\in\mathbb{N}$
$$ \frac{1}{4^n}\binom{2n}{n} = \frac{\Gamma(2n+1)}{4^n \Gamma(n+1)^2} = \frac{2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\cos^{2n}(\theta)\,d\theta \approx \frac{2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi/2} e^{-n\theta^2}\,d\theta \approx \frac{2}{\pi}\int_{0}^{+\infty} e^{-n\theta^2}\,d\theta $$
and the RHS equals $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi n}}$. Actually both the $\approx$ above hold as $\sim$ as $n\to +\infty$, and the chain of inequalities still holds if $n\in\frac{1}{2}+\mathbb{N}$. In particular, by letting $n=m/2$ we have
$$ \frac{m!}{\left(\frac{m}{2}!\right)^2} \sim \frac{2^{m+1/2}}{\sqrt{\pi m}} 
$$
hence
$$ \frac{\left(\frac{n+1}{2}!\right)^2}{\left(\frac{n}{2}!\right)^2}\sim\frac{2^{n+1/2}}{n!\sqrt{\pi n}}\cdot\frac{(n+1)!\sqrt{\pi(n+1)}}{2^{n+3/2}}\sim\frac{n+1}{2}$$
and the given limit equals
$$ \lim_{n\to +\infty}\frac{7^{\sqrt{n+1}-\sqrt{n}}}{2}=\frac{1}{2}.$$
Stirling's approximation is not needed.
