I having trouble showing this for all n members of the natural numbers. I need help

what techniques were taught in class?

@shrewd lark to be honest I dont know, I self study using abbot's textbook. In it he shows an N exists such that all for n>= N, a_n is in the epsilon-neighborhood of the claimed limit.

oh ok that makes sense

#

so first things first: try to formulate this question in epsilon-delta language

#

$\forall \varepsilon > 0, \dots$

$\sqrt[n]{a} = a^{\frac{1}{n}} = exp(\frac{1}{n} ln(a))$

Which means this converges to exp(0)

#

And if you're wondering why
$a^b = exp(b ln(a))$
It's because both have the same logarithm

Ln(a^b) = b ln(a)
Ln(exp(b ln(a)) = b ln(a)

@gritty oasis what is the function exp(x), e^x ?. And do you have any tips for latex?

Yes
