sequences and series - prove limnrightarrowinftyfracbnnk=infty











I have this sequence with b>1 and k a natural, which diverges:
limnbnnk=


I need to prove this, with what i have learnt till now from my textbook, my simple step is this:



Since n22n for n>3, i said bnnk, 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




limnbnnk=



You can use the root test, too: limnnbnnk=b>1



Therefore, the limit diverges.






The root test takes the lim of the n-th root of the term: limnn|an|=α.




If α<1 the sum/limit converges.



If α>1 the sum/limit diverges.



If α=1, the root test is inconclusive.
