    Finding the Limit of a Root Test: Calculating the Limit of a Challenging Term

    Hello. How do I find the limit of this term? $$\lim_{{n}\to{\infty}}|\left(\frac{n}{n+1}\right)^{\!{n^2}}|^\frac{1}{n}$$ This is the working but I don't understand how to get the third line. r = lim(n→∞) |[n/(n+1)]^(n^2)|^(1/n) ..= lim(n→∞) [n/(n+1)]^n ..= lim(n→∞) 1 / [(n+1)/n]^n...

    MHB Series Convergence Test Questions

    Just a few quick questions this time: I'm doubting the first one mostly, because when I used the integral test to evaluate it: I ended up getting (-1/x)(lnx +1) from 2 to infinity, which gave me an odd expression: (-1/infinity)(infinity +1 -ln2 -1). I'm assuming this means it is convergent...

    Complex Mapping Linearity Test

    Hello, Given the complex linear mapping: T(z) = Az + B where A is real and B is complex. However trying to show that T(a * z1 + z2) = a * T(z1) + T(z2) does not work which implies the mapping is not linear? Why does not this rule apply here? Thanks.
