Thread: limit question on a limit comparison test problem.

I understand why the limit comparison test is being used on this problem, but im not sure how they are simplifying B sub n into A sub n. i would of thought it would simplify to ((1+2^n)*(3^n))/((1+3^n)(2^n). Thanks.

problem.


solution.

Correct.
Take 2^n as common factor in the numerator, and 3^n as a common factor in the denominator. Cancel the same guys, and you will be fine.

There is another solution using the Basic Comparison Test:



and the last one is a convergent geometric series.
