Need help with a root test problem (Calculus)!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know how to start it up, I'm confused on what to do with the two terms however.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would subtract first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start with \[\sum\left(\frac{n^6-1}{n^{10}}\right)^n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, I got that. So, I could take the nth root of that, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt[n]{|a_n|}\] I'm assuming you know all the rules as in figuring out if it's convergent inconclusive, diverges, if not just ask.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would use the eyeball test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I got the basics down.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, I would end up with the limit as n goes to infinity of \[\sum_{0}^{\infty} (n^6-1)/(n^10)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I meant to put it as n^10 on the bottom.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah they should really put absolute convergent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I think I can manage with the rest.
