Asked by Tom
                Hello,
I can't figure out this last number of series, convergence/divergence tests.
E inf, n=1 (5n)^(3n) / (5^n +3)^n
I tried ratio test but it's inconclusive. Polynomial doesn't work either, because of the exponents.
Thanks

    just a gut feel -- it converges,
(5n)^(3n) = ((5n)^3)^n = (125n^3)^n
so the fraction is
((125n^3)/(5^n + 3)]^n
Now, exponentials grow much faster than polynomials, so the inside fraction is less than 1/n^2 for n>10
So, it will converge.
