Answer

$\infty$

Work Step by Step

We are given the sequence: $\left\{\dfrac{n^{10}}{\ln^{20} n}\right\}$ Let $a_n=n^{10}$ and $b_n=\ln^{20} n$. As $\ln^{20} n\ll n^{10}$, we have: $b_n\ll a_n$. Because $b_n$ appears before $a_n$ in the list of growth rates, using Theorem 8.6, we get: $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \dfrac{a_n}{b_n}=\infty$
