SUMMARY

The limit of the expression (3√n)^(1/2n) as n approaches infinity is determined to be 1. By squaring the term, it simplifies to 9n^(1/4n^2), which further reduces to n^(1/n^2). As n approaches infinity, n^(1/n^2) converges to 1, leading to the conclusion that the original limit also approaches 1.

Homework Statement


Determine the limit of:

lim ((3sqrt{n})^(1/2n))


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I don't even know where to begin...perhaps squaring the entire term so I get..

9n^(1/[4n^2]) which is equivalent to n^[1/(n^2)]

But I don't know what the limit of that is...I graph it and get all kinds of craziness
Please help!
