$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{n^n}{2^{n^2}}$

@frigid swift ?
thx
I'm confused on what convergence test I would use, because I tried the ratio test but the ratio came out to something I couldn't really factor out easily
is that supposed to be n = 0 instead of n = 1?
assuming its n = 1, you can do:
,,\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{n^n}{2^{n^2}}=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\qty(\frac n{2^n})^n
mtt
which would indicate to use the nth root test
that way, you can figure out whether series converges or not based on $\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac n{2^n}$

thats not what I said?
if its n=0 you have 0^0 in the numerator
??????
youre giving me two different stories here
anyways usually for questions like this, you ignore what the n = says at the bottom
because you can set that number to be any number you want ahead
use alembert
sorry my brain was on 2% last night, there was a typo on the practice test I was pulling this question from. The corrected question did have it as n=1. also your advice was helpful ty
