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)]/[(n^n)*(x^n)]

|x| lim n→∞ [(n+1)^(n+1)]/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?
 


Oh, I definitely see it now! Thanks. (^o^)/
 


Can you show (n+1)^(n+1)/n^n>(n+1)??
 


Yeah, I can definitely do that part, I just I had a little trouble looking for the one little section I had trouble with.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
