Find if the series converges or diverges.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{ (2n+1)^{n} }{ n ^{2n} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've tried ratio test and root test, didn't have success with either. Don't know where to go form here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You'll have better luck with the root test.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I couldn't get it. i got \[\frac{ 2n+1 }{ n^2 }\] which is just inf/inf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually...that limit equals zero doesn't it? Because the degree on the bottom is larger than the top.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes the limit is zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, forgot Calc 1 stuff somehow. Thanks, I appreciate it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

i thought u hve to prove the limit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We just have to check for conv/divergence of the series. We have tests for that. No limit proofs needed, unless we want to make absolutely sure that \(\dfrac{2n+1}{n^2}\to0\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, it converges as 0 < 1 due to the root test conditions of convergence

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{\dfrac{2n+1}{n^2}\\ =\dfrac{2}{n}+\dfrac{1}{n^2}\\ =\dfrac{2}{\infty}+\dfrac{1}{\infty^2}\\ =0+0=0}\end{align}\)
