I have this sequence with b>1 and k a natural, which diverges:
limn→∞bnnk=∞
I need to prove this, with what i have learnt till now from my textbook, my simple step is this:
Since n2≤2n for n>3, i said bn≥nk, so it diverges. Is it right?
I am asking here not just to get the right answer, but to learn more wonderful steps and properties.
Answer
limn→∞bnnk=∞
You can use the root test, too: limn→∞n√bnnk=b>1
Therefore, the limit diverges.
The root test takes the lim of the n-th root of the term: limn→∞n√|an|=α.
If α<1 the sum/limit converges.
If α>1 the sum/limit diverges.
If α=1, the root test is inconclusive.
