# Does it converge?

## Homework Equations

epsilon - N definition of convergence [/B]

## The Attempt at a Solution

Not sure how to determine whether this sequence converges or not. Thought it could have something to do with the fact that e^2 and e^3 are just constants, so when n > infinity those e terms become negligible in comparison. If you had to apply convergence definition how could you do that without L? [/B]

Do you know rules for logarithms ?

Such as ##\ \ln(a\cdot b) =\ln(a)+\ln(b)\,?##

What is ## \ \ln(e^2) \, ?##

oh yes i do. Update: I used L'Hospital's Rule to find that the sequence converges to 2. But now separating the logarithms you get 2+ln(n^2)/3+ln(n), so would that change my answer I get using L'Hospital's rule? or can i assume an converges to 2 and then use the definition with L = 2?
