 Problem 1 

Evaluate:

a) $\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty }{\frac {1}{{\big (}{\frac {n-4}{n}}{\big )}^{n}}}$

b) $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac {1}{2}}{\bigg (}{\frac {1}{4}}{\bigg )}^{n-1}$

 Problem 2 

Determine convergence or divergence:

$\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac {3^{n}}{n}}$

 Problem 3 

Determine convergence or divergence:

a) $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }(-1)^{n}{\sqrt {\frac {1}{n}}}$

b) $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }(-2)^{n}{\frac {n!}{n^{n}}}$

 Problem 4 

Find the radius of convergence and interval of convergence of the series.

a) $\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }n^{n}x^{n}$

b) $\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(x+1)^{n}}{\sqrt {n}}}$

 Problem 5 

If $\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }c_{n}x^{n}$ converges, does it follow that the following series converges?

a) $\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }c_{n}{\bigg (}{\frac {x}{2}}{\bigg )}^{n}$

b) $\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }c_{n}(-x)^{n}$
