Finding the limit of expression used for the central limit theorem

38 Views Asked by At

We are some folks working on proving the central limit theorem. The missing piece we lack is finding the limit in the following equation for $n \rightarrow \infty$. Maple is able to find a limit, but so far we haven't been succesfull in recreating this analytically by hand.

$$\left( \left( 1-p \right) {{\rm e}^{{\frac {-i \cdot\theta}{ \sqrt{n}} \sqrt{{\frac {p}{p-1}}}}}}+p{{\rm e}^{{\frac {i \cdot\theta}{ \sqrt{n}} \sqrt{{\frac {p-1}{p}}}}}} \right) ^{n} $$

If anybody has any helt with this it will be much appreciated.

Use that for $x\to 0$

$$e^x=1+x+\frac{x^2}2+o(x^2)$$

maybe also first order expansion suffices.
