prove to me sum of (n!)/(n)^(n) converge or diverge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it'll converge...use ratio test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lim n---> infintiy a(n+1) /a(n) = 1/e, which is less than 1 so the given series will converge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a(n)= (n!)/(n)^(n)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it will converge only when n(!)/(n)^(n)is greater than one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.... the result of the limit is very baffling to me, how do you get 1/e?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lim n---> infintiy a(n+1) /a(n) =lim n---->infinity [(n+1)!)/(n+1)^(n+1) ] / [(n!)/(n)^(n)] =lim n---->infinity 1/ ( 1+ 1/n)^n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fine?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeh then it will diverge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[(n+1)!)/(n+1)^(n+1) ] / [(n!)/(n)^(n)] = {n/(n+1) } ^n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ha bhai! yeh to bata ki diverge hoga ya converge

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and use lim n---> infinity (1 + 1/n) ^n = e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

abe bas maths dekh li teri

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good job, I don't remember that limit for e. Anyways kudos. Are you a physics major?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol, it was bad enough. Akash is exceptional in solving that problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, let's see. I've got plenty of hard questions
