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?

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

            Quarter-circle Tiles

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

            0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton?
