Good day

I'm trying to find the radius of this serie, and here is the solution

I just have problem understanding why 2^(n/2) is little o of 3^(n/3) ?

many thanks in advance

Best regards!

$$2^{n/2}= 1.4142^n \qquad 3^{n/3}= 1.4442^n \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2^{n/2} < 3^{n/3}$$

[tex][2^{n/2}+3^{n/3}+n^7]^{1/n}=3^{1/3}[1+k^n+\frac{n^7}{3^{n/3}}]^{1/n}[/tex]
where
[tex]k=\frac{2^{1/2}}{3^{1/3}}[/tex]
[tex]k^6=\frac{8}{9}<1[/tex]
so k<1. As n##\rightarrow +\infty##
[tex][1+k^n+\frac{n^7}{3^{n/3}}]^{1/n} \rightarrow 1[/tex]
