MHB Do These Infinite Series Converge?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on determining the convergence of two infinite series. The first series, the sum of n!/(n! + 3^n) from n=0 to infinity, prompts the examination of its limit as n approaches infinity. The second series, involving (n - (1/n))^-n from n=1 to infinity, is noted to be undefined at n=1. Participants are seeking appropriate tests for convergence for both series. The conversation highlights the importance of limits and the behavior of terms in series analysis.

Test these for convergence.

1.
infinity
E...n!/(n! + 3^n)
n = 0

2.
infinity
E...(n - (1/n))^-n
n = 1

Btw, E means sum.

Which tests should I use to solve these?

1. $\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{n!}{n! + 3^n}$

What is $\displaystyle \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{n!}{n! + 3^n}$?...

Kind regards

$\chi$ $\sigma$

This sum is undefined at n=1 !
