    Why does the numerator become 1 in the root test for solving series?

    in order to solve a series, the root test is applied and I have this limit ## \lim_{n \rightarrow +\infty} \sqrt[n] {\left| {\frac {i^{\frac { n} {3}}} { \frac {2n} {3} +1}} \right| } ## I don't understand why at the second step the numerator becomes 1, cannot recall why it becomes 1, that is...

    Understanding the Ratio Test for Series and Its Applications

    So I am having some difficulty expressing this series explicitly. I just tried finding some terms ##b_{0} = 5## I am assuming I am allowed to use that for ##b_{1}## for the series, even if the series begins at ##n=1##? With that assumption, I have ##b_{1} = -\frac {5}{4}## ##b_{2} = -...

    COVID Chances of False Positive on PCR test (Covid 19)

    I recently had an incident in which a person visited my office and a few days later informed me he had tested positive for Covid.

    I Two-sample t test vs. chi-squared test for homogeneity

    The purpose of t test is to find how close the two means of the two samples given are; whereas the result of ##\chi^2## homogeneity test indicates the likeness of the two distributions of two populations (or maybe samples--I am not sure). Can anyone please tell me the differences between them...

    What are typical Pressures in a test section of a shock tunnel?

    I'm writing a Matlab script to calculate various properties in a shock tunnel. While this might sound silly but I am not well acquainted with the subject and have very few resources to compare. For a mach 6 test section is it reasonable to have a freestream pressure as low as 305 Pa?
