    Series Convergence

    Find all x for which

    \displaystyle\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty n^nx^n

    Attempt: Ratio Test

    \lim_{x \to +\infty} |\frac {(n+1)^{n+1}x^{n+1}}{n^nx^n}|

    =(\frac{n+1}{n})^n(n+1)|x|

    =(1+\frac{1}{n})^n(n+1)|x|

    =e(n+1)|x|

    Where do I go from here?

    For x\neq 0 we have

    \displaystyle\lim_{n\to +\infty}\left(1+\dfrac{1}{n}\right)^n(n+1)|x|=+\in fty

    So, the series is convergent iff x=0 .
