so the limit must be eta when lim k = oo because the rule is < and not =< , i think bo has overlooked that !?!
or did i miss something ?
yes, take a similar example:
\( -1 < \frac{1}{k+1} < \frac{1}{k} \)
by your argumentation \( \lim_{k\to\infty} \frac{1}{k} = -1 \).
thats not the same , the limit value cannot possibly be smaller than eta , so eta is the ultimate boundary.
and because any infinite tetration of real base (eta + q) = oo
our resulting limit must be between eta < " limit "< eta + q
taking lim q = 0+ => " limit " = eta.
