Converges or Diverges?

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

Must use the ratio or root test: n^n/n! And 1.19^n/n^5

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

Wait, actually for the second one can use comparison or lim as n approaches infinity as well.

OpenStudy (experimentx):

both of them diverges

OpenStudy (experimentx):

for first you use Stirling approximation ... for second, you just use L'hopital rule .... exponential functions always wins over polynomial functions.

OpenStudy (zarkon):

\[\frac{n^n}{n!}=\frac{n\cdot n\cdots n}{n(n-1)\cdots1}=\frac{n}{n}\frac{n}{n-1}\cdots\frac{n}{1}>n\to \infty \text{ as }n\to\infty\]
