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

@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

open oracle
#

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

which would indicate to use the nth root test

#

that way, you can figure out whether series converges or not based on $\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac n{2^n}$

yea it's n=0 my mistake

#

ty i'll try that

open oracle
#

if its n=0 you have 0^0 in the numerator

frigid swift
#

it's supposed to be n=0

#

yeah i messed up when writing the latex

#

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

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
