    Convergence problem (nth-term test)

    Show that the sum of (n/(3n+1))n from n=1 to ∞ converges. The book solves this with a comparison test to (1/3)n, but I'm making a mistake with an n-th term test somewhere. an = (n/(3n+1))n Take ln of both sides, then use n = 1/(1/n) to setup for l'Hopital's rule. ln an = ln(n/(3n+1)) /...
