Finding radius of convergence for $frac{x^n}{nsqrt{n}12^n}$
$begingroup$
I need help finding the radius of convergence for $frac{x^n}{nsqrt{n}12^n}$
I tried both the root and ratio tests but neither one is getting me anywhere.
Trying the root test I reduced to $lim limits_{n to infty}left(frac{x}{n^{1/2}n^{1/4}12}right)$ which is either incorrect or not helpful.
I need to find radius of convergence, as well as interval of convergence, then determine absolute and conditional convergence.

Just, btw, the expression in the root test is $(x/12) (n^{- 3/2})^{1/n} = (x/12) n^{-1.5/n},$ not $(x/12) n^{-3/2}.$

For ratio test:
$$lim_{n to infty}frac{x^{n+1}}{(n+1)sqrt{n+1}cdot 12^{n+1}}frac{nsqrt{n} cdot 12^n}{x^n}= lim_{n to infty}frac{x}{12}lim_{n to infty}frac{n}{n+1}lim_{n to infty}sqrt{frac{n}{n+1}}$$
Can you evaluate the last two limits?

$begingroup$
Second one goes to $1$, third one also $1$?

yes, $frac{n}{n+1}= frac{1}{1+frac1n}$.

The ratio test should work. The ratio of the $1/(n sqrt(n))$ part goes to $1$ and the rest gives $|x/12|$.
