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!
 
I posted this question on math-stackexchange but apparently I asked something stupid and I was downvoted. I still don't have an answer to my question so I hope someone in here can help me or at least explain me why I am asking something stupid. I started studying Complex Analysis and came upon the following theorem which is a direct consequence of the Cauchy-Goursat theorem: Let ##f:D\to\mathbb{C}## be an anlytic function over a simply connected region ##D##. If ##a## and ##z## are part of...
