I am torn between the limit not existing and it being = 0.

Thank you so much.

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

If ∑aₙ converges, then lim(n→∞)aₙ = 0.

Using ratio test, we can determine if the series converges:

If lim(n→∞) |aₙ₊₁ / aₙ| < 1, then ∑aₙ converges.

If lim(n→∞) |aₙ₊₁ / aₙ| > 1, then ∑aₙ diverges.

lim(n→∞) |(100ⁿ⁺¹ / (n+1)!) / (100ⁿ / n!)|

lim(n→∞) |(100ⁿ⁺¹ / (n+1)!) × (n! / 100ⁿ)|

lim(n→∞) |(100 / (n+1)|

0 < 1

The series converges. Therefore, lim(n→∞)aₙ = 0.
