Root Test
Examples 4.2.14(b):
To apply the root test, we have to compute the limit superior of the expression(n2)1/n = n2/n = (n1/n)2By our result on the limit of the n-th root sequence, the lim sup of this expression is equal to 1. Hence, the root test is inconclusive.
However, the above series is a p-series with p = 2, and therefore converges by the p-series test.
