Power Series:(n^n)*(x^n)

Homework Statement



The only step I'm having problem with on this problem is when I take the Lim n→∞ of the problem. I want to know how to cancel the n^n on the denominator during one of the steps.

Homework Equations



∞
Ʃ (n^n)*(x^n)
n=1

The Attempt at a Solution



lim n→∞ [(n+1)^(n+1)]*[x^(n+1)][itex]/[/itex][(n^n)*(x^n)]

|x| lim n→∞ [(n+1)^(n+1)][itex]/[/itex]n^n

That's where I got stuck.

(n+1)n+1 / nn = ( (n+1)n / nn ) * (n+1). Can you see the limit now?
 


Yeah, I can definitely do that part, I just I had a little trouble looking for the one little section I had trouble with.
