I want to know why this particular approach is wrong so I can learn from my mistakes.
[tex]a_n = \frac{ln(n^3)}{2n}[/tex]
For the sake of being time efficient, I will skip writing things like the limit as n approaches infinity etc.
[tex]a_n = \frac{ln(n^3)}{2n}[/tex]
I let n^3 = u
[tex]a_n = \frac{ln(u)}{2n}[/tex]
Using L'hopital's rule,
[tex]\frac{3n^2}{2n^3}[/tex]
Applying it once more,
[tex]\frac{6n}{6n^2}[/tex]
Which simplifys to
[tex]\frac{6}{12n}[/tex]
This shows that the function diverges. Which is the wrong answer.
