Homework Statement



Sorry for the missing summation signs but could anyone help me investigate the convergance of the following infinite sum with n'th term equal to : (2n)!/(n^n)


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I have tried ratio test and n'th root test but failed.
Im not even sure if it passes the vanishing test

would appreciate any ideas. Thanks

Use Stirling's approximation.
 
Well, using ratio test, i got that the limit goes to infinity, looks strange, but, i think that it diverges.
 
using sterlings equationm plus nth root test i get a limit which tends to infinity, but i think you can only conclude something about convergance of the sseries if the limit is real...
 
For the series to converge the limit must be zero, right? It's not.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
