MHB Series Convergence: Ratio Test & Lim. n→∞

I'm trying to determine if $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{{n}^{10}}{{2}^{n}}$$ converges or diverges.

I did the ratio test but I'm left with determining $$\lim_{{n}\to{\infty}}\frac{(n+1)^{10}}{2n^{10}} $$

Any suggestions??

I would write the limit as:

$$L=\frac{1}{2}\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{(n+1)^{10}}{n^{10}}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)\right)^{10}$$

Can you proceed?
 
Yes thanks!
 
A sphere as topological manifold can be defined by gluing together the boundary of two disk. Basically one starts assigning each disk the subspace topology from ##\mathbb R^2## and then taking the quotient topology obtained by gluing their boundaries. Starting from the above definition of 2-sphere as topological manifold, shows that it is homeomorphic to the "embedded" sphere understood as subset of ##\mathbb R^3## in the subspace topology.
