Thread: Ratio and Root Test

How would you work out if these series converge or diverge?

Problem 1

n=1 to infinity n!/10^n

Problem 2

n=1 to infinity ((n-2)/n)^n

Problem 3

n=1 to infinity (-2)^n/3^n

What exactly are you having troubles with? You are already told which tests to use.

For example, the first one. Let .

Then:

still not sure how to do the third problem though....can't use root test because of the negative term. There too many tests....
