Determining if series converges or diverges

[Sunwoo Bae]

Homework Statement

Determine if the following series converges or diverges using any appropriate tests

Relevant Equations

limit comparison test

Is it valid to use limit comparison test to compute the following series?
If it is, would my reasoning be valid?

Thank you!

What precisely is your reasoning?

 

[mitochan]

An orthodox way is to investigate
[tex]|\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}|[/tex]
is greater or less than 1.

What does the limit comparison test say exactly?
Isn't there a specific relation to be fulfilled between ##a_n## and ##b_n##?
Do your successions ##a## and ##b## fulfill such relation?

Is [tex]
\frac{n^n}{n!} = \frac{n}{1} \frac{n}{2} \cdots \frac{n}{n-1} \frac{n}{n}
[/tex] greater than, or less than, 1 for large [itex]n[/itex]? Given that, which of the following is true:
1. [itex]a_n < b_n[/itex] for large [itex]n[/itex].
2. [itex]a_n > b_n[/itex] for large [itex]n[/itex].

How does that affect the comparison test?

I personally think the ratio test would be the easiest to use, here.
