Sorry about the title everyone but I've posted numerous threads on series and I had to choose an apropriate title :tongue2:
The problem asks to use the ratio test, and determine for which values of x the test is conclusive-either converging or diverging. Then check those cases where the test is inconclusive by some other means.
here is the the series [tex]\sum_{n=3}^{\infty}\frac{x^n}{n3^n}[/tex]...converge or diverge here is what i did [tex]\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}[/tex] and that came out to be [tex]\frac{x^{n+1}}{(n+1)(3^{n+1})}[/tex] multiplie by the [tex]\frac{n3^{n}}{x^{n}}[/tex] and after you cross out similar variables and it comes out to be
[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}\frac{xn}{3(n+1)}[/tex]
