Help! Interval of convergence!

okay so have you used the ratio test?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well since you ain't use the ratio test and set the remaining | value | < 1 and that gives you your range once you have that plug in each bound to the original formula and I got it to diverge both times so I think its (-1,1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \left| \frac{ x ^{n+1}\ln(n+1) }{ n+1 }\times \frac{ n }{ x^n \ln n }\right|\] \[\left| x \right|\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \left| \frac{ n }{ n+1 }\times \frac{ \ln (n+1) }{ \ln n }\right|\] \[\left| x \right| <1 \] \[-1<x<1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for x = -1 \[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{ (-1^n)\ln n(-1)^n }{ n } = \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{ \ln n }{ n }\] what test should i use to prove its convergence or divergence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for x=1 \[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{ (-1)^n \ln n }{ n }\] using alternating series, the series converges.. im not sure how you got diverging to both?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got double divergence because it was 4 am lol. I think for the first one you'd use comparison to the 1/n harmonic function. I'm just assuming you know that. and the second one does converge my b

okay thank you! :D
