Question

Consider the series $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} a_k$ where $a_k = \left(\frac{k+2}{k}\right)^{-k^2}$ In this problem you must attempt to use the Root Test to decide whether the series converges. Compute $L = \lim_{n\to\infty} \sqrt[k]{|a_k|} $ Enter the numerical value of the limit L if it converges, INF if it diverges to infinity, or DIV if it diverges but not to infinity.

          Consider the series $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} a_k$ where
$a_k = \left(\frac{k+2}{k}\right)^{-k^2}$
In this problem you must attempt to use the Root Test to decide whether the series converges.
Compute
$L = \lim_{n\to\infty} \sqrt[k]{|a_k|} $
Enter the numerical value of the limit L if it converges, INF if it diverges to infinity, or DIV if it diverges but not to infinity.

Consider the series ∑k=1^∞ ak where
ak = ((k+2)/(k))^-k^2
In this problem you must attempt to use the Root Test to decide whether the series converges.
Compute
L = limn→∞√(|ak|)
Enter the numerical value of the limit L if it converges, INF if it diverges to infinity, or DIV if it diverges but not to infinity.

Step 1

Step 1: Compute the value of a_{k} for k = 1: a_{1} = \left( \frac{1+2}{1} \right)^{-1^{2}} = 3^{-1} = \frac{1}{3} Show more…

Consider the series sum_{k=1}^{infty} a_{k} where a_{k} = left( frac{k+2}{k} ight)^{-k^{2}} In this problem, you must attempt to use the Root Test to decide whether the series converges. Compute L = lim_{n o infty} sqrt[k]{|a_{k}|} Enter the numerical value of the limit L if it converges, INF if it diverges to infinity, or DIV if it diverges but not to infinity. Consider the series a_{k} where k = 1 k + 2 In this problem, you must attempt to use the Root Test to decide whether the series converges. Compute L = lim frac{V}{a} Enter the numerical value of the limit L if it converges, INF if it diverges to infinity, or DIV if it diverges but not to infinity.
