Which Tests Determine Convergence for These Series?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining convergence for two specific series: the first involving the expression E...((n!)^2((2n)!)^2)/((n^2 + 2n)!(n + 1)!) and the second E...(1 - e^(-((n^2 + 3n))/n))/(n^2). Participants emphasize the importance of using appropriate convergence tests and suggest that users should apply insights from one problem to others. The moderator clarifies the numbering of the problems to avoid confusion, indicating that the previously mentioned #3 is actually #6.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of series convergence tests such as the Ratio Test and Root Test.
  • Familiarity with factorial notation and its implications in series.
  • Knowledge of exponential functions and their behavior in limits.
  • Ability to interpret mathematical expressions in LaTeX format for clarity.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Ratio Test for series convergence.
  • Explore the Root Test and its applications in determining convergence.
  • Learn how to express mathematical series in LaTeX for better communication.
  • Investigate the behavior of factorials in asymptotic analysis.
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students studying calculus or analysis, and anyone involved in series convergence problems will benefit from this discussion.

Test these for convergence.

5.
infinity
E...((n!)^2((2n)!)^2)/((n^2 + 2n)!(n + 1)!)
n = 0

6.
infinity
E...(1 - e ^ -((n^2 + 3n))/n)/(n^2)
n = 3

note: for #3: -((n^2 + 3n))/n) is all to the power of e

Btw, E means sum.

Which tests should I use to solve these?

Rather than posing a series of similar questions, you should apply the help given to you on one thread to attempt the other problems.

What do you mean by #3 ? , maybe you meant the question you posted earlier. Not writing the sums in LaTeX makes it so difficult to interpret !

Moderator note: I renumbered the problems so as to have no more than two problems in a thread. The #3 should be a #6. It's Problem #6.
