Re: Series
You might try using the Binet formula hoping that there would be some cancellation. Or you can try expanding the first few terms and trying to recognize the generating function.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

i don't know any of that stuff.what about 19?

Re: Series
19, possibly snake oil method. Or again using a table to recognize the generating function.
Also you really should know the Binet formula.

You meant the *limit of that expression as x --> oo*, correct?
Can you justify this?
2)
So, I don't see your first part of your message as being sufficient
to justify that the sum is divergent (not convergent).

Re: Series
Your 2) is incorrect. That only applies when the x is part of the indices:
Which is not the same as:
The top one is adding up a sequence that is getting smaller and it converges. The second one is adding up a sequence that never changes, it diverges.
You do not need limits here. There is no value that can make the summand = 0. Therefore for all values of x the summand is a constant. It never changes, Add up an infinite bunch of constants and you have a divergent series.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

There was a misunderstanding here by me,
because you didn't put this all on one line**,
and you had "Has" in the middle of a
sentence instead of "has." It appears to
be two sentences, despite "Since;[,]"
being at the beginning of the sentence.
** It is just about the visual aspect of it not being on
one line, not the correctness of it.

My amended question is still open.

Re: Series
Hi reconsideryouranswer;
First observe:
Using the comparison test:
The RHS is a variant of the harmonic series and is known to diverge. In order for that inequality to be true then:
must be true.
Raise both sides to the n^n th power:
This is obvious for all n>=1. This now implies:
Since your sum is greater than a known series that diverges by the comparison test it too diverges.
