Homework Statement
\sum^{∞}_{1}1/n^{n}
Homework Equations
Direct comparison testThe Attempt at a Solution
Since the main factor in the equation is the exponent that would be changing as n goes to infinity, I know that from the p series as p > 1 the the series converges. So I know that I would be comparing the original equation to\sum^{∞}_{1}1/n^{2}
And I know that I need to show:
0 \leq \sum^{∞}_{1}1/n^{n} \leq \sum^{∞}_{1}1/n^{2}
but I don't know how to show
\sum^{∞}_{1}1/n^{n} \leq \sum^{∞}_{1}1/n^{2}
mathematically. Would I just blatantly say that the original term is smaller than the p series just by looking at it?
